[mythtv] Which one first -- movie listings or extended weather

[Jeremy Palenchar]

I live in Seattle. The weather people are ALWAYS wrong. I know more than
they do - I look out the window.

I check the weather in Seattle once per YEAR.

I check movie listings once per week.

I vote for movie listings.

Thought I'd pose this question to the list.  I'm going to write two new
plugins, eventually, but wanted to see which one people might want to see
first.

1)  Movie listings.  Zap2it appears to have a movie listing service as well
as their TV listings. 
( http://docs.tms.tribune.com/tech/tmsdatadirect/zap2it/movies.html ) This
lets you put in a zipcode and radius and get back a ton of info on theatres,
showtimes, movie descriptions, pictures, even URLs to purchase tickets or
see the offical movie website. 

2) An extended mythweather for the US.  The NWS has several new XML weather
services which let you get far more data beyond that which MSNBC provides.  
This includes 3-hourly weather forecasts out to 7 days+.  Basically the kind
of information behind pages like: 

http://www.erh.noaa.gov/cle/digital/021afmwk.htm
http://www.erh.noaa.gov/cle/digital/021afm.htm
http://www.srh.noaa.gov/data/forecasts/OHZ021.php

Also, more complete information on watches/warnings/alerts are available in
XML, like this:

http://www.weather.gov/alerts/


Any ideas or preferences here? Hopefully get this in by the time .16 comes
out...
