[mythtv] Weather: Suggestion to make national import modules

>From my point of view, MythWeather simply sucks. It's not the layout or
anything. That's totally cool. :-)

It's more that the data source sucks (at least for this part of the
world), since the weather is always different on national weather
services (more accurate) than on some global weather service...

Thus: I propose that MythWeather should be made with some sort interface
that imports weather data diffently, depending on where you live (sort
of like the XMLTV grabber modules).

For instance, I would always consider the Danish National Weather
Services (http://www.dmi.dk/) to be much more accurate (and with much
nicer satellite images) than the Weather Channel/MSNBC (or where you get
the data from). It might be accurate in the States, but not around here
(Denmark that is)! -- Hey: MSNBC might say blizzard, when it's on a hot
summer day!!!

Do other people outside the States have the same experiences or ...?

Anyone?


Cheers,
~Morten :-)
