Weather Component

[dowN70]

I am having some problems with the weather component. I am getting N/A for everything, this is happening within the studio, airplayer and webplayer. I have tried changing the zip and nothing happens.

We are looking into this now and reply back ASAP.

NOA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric) Weather service is down.
We have contacted them and waiting on a reply.

in that case, the national weather site must be down alot.
It 'worked' on and off yesterday, and this morning is down.

i wonder if the control could just show question marks '?'
when its unavailable.

Yes, in the past week (6-17-09) the NOA has LOTS of downtime.
I am not sure why, we tried contacting them with no luck. The service seems to be up and down.

The GOOD NEWS:
Our release 1.5 will Cache all RSS XML (Weather, news).
So, if a service goes down, you will get the last good know result. So, you will not feel (see) small interruptions in RSS feeds.

If you want  a private build to test for 1.5, please email me and I will get you a test release.
