OK, I think I may see what's going on. I've trimmed the debug output
to make it easier to explain. Wget starts off sending Basic Auth

> POST /tvlistings/xtvdService HTTP/1.0
> Host: datadirect.webservices.zap2it.com
> Authorization: Basic ljydtdgyf5t79870ryghuggi=
> Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

but that's rejected by the server: A demand for Digest Auth is returned:

Wget closes the connection, then retries using Digest Auth:

> POST /tvlistings/xtvdService HTTP/1.0
> User-Agent: Wget/1.9.1
> Host: datadirect.webservices.zap2it.com
> Accept: */*
> Connection: Keep-Alive
> Authorization: Digest username="userid", realm="TMSWebServiceRealm",
> nonce="PDExMTM5NjAxMjMxNzcuNGJmY2Q3YTdiMDg5MjMzYzNhMDA4M2I3NmRmNzkzODZAc

> response="27b41196dda61ef84158df43f501b1fe", opaque="a064ab3c7afaa4cf"

and the server is happy. Curl starts off sending Basic Auth too:

> 0000: POST /tvlistings/xtvdService HTTP/1.1
> 0027: Authorization: Basic ljydtdgyf5t79870ryghuggi=

gets the same "Unauthorised" response, along with the demand for
Digest Auth. Curl then tells you the bad news and stops.

> 0000: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized

I'll leave it to Daniel to decide if curl should be switching from
Basic to Digest in mid-stream. What you could try next would be to
*tell* curl to send Digest Auth the first time around:

     curl --digest -u userid:userpwd .......
