 Having registered with weather.com to get access to their SDK I see the
 following in a PDF document accompanying it that relates to types of
 applications, etc.

 "If you have an application that does not fall into the categories of Web-
 Based or Desktop, such as applications for PDAs, cell phones, kiosks,
 print, fax, broadcast television, or other platforms that cannot
 immediately or directly link back to weather.com or, if your usage
 expectations exceed those outlined above, you will need to determine what
 other licensing options may be available to you.

 Generally, if your site or application (a) has 500,000 unique visitors or
 greater on a monthly basis, or (b) has over 100,000 unique visitors on a
 monthly basis and it can generate 25,000 referrals per month to
 weather.com through the links provided to you, and you are interested in
 additional weather content, please contact our Business Development Group
 via e-mail at busdevmanager2 at talk2.weather.com to discuss a potential
 relationship."

 I wonder whether it's worth someone from the mythTV dev team contacting
 them to see whether (no pun intended!) it's possible to get a _free_
 Partner ID/License Key pair for all mythTV users (as opposed to each user
 having to sign up individually to get their own)?
