[mythtv] MythScores / MythOverlay??

[Jay Christner]

I think this would be very cool.  You could do configurable sports, 
weather, stocks, etc.  It shouldn't be very hard to do I wouldn't think.  
I'm not sure some of the sites would appreciate being used that way (you 
wouldn't be looking/clicking on banner ads), but there's probably some 
sort of feed you could get without too much trouble.  There are lots of 
ticker projects on freshmeat which could probably get you some ideas as to 
what sources are available, and what kinds of data you could provide via  
a generic/modular ticker interface.

MythTicker.  cool.
