Hi JLaska!

To be honest I haven't read the source of your plugin and so I don't know
how you process the information from MSNBC before displaying them.

The problem is the MSNBC information is very focused on the US. Means even
if you are showing the weather conditions for a location outside the US
still the US timezone is used. E.g. if you watch the 4 day forecast for Hong
Kong and you are living in Hong Kong you will see Saturday as the first day
even if you already have Sunday. The forecast is correct and even is already
showing the Sunday forecast but in regards to the wrong timezone and so it
is showing Saturday.

For sure it will be not easy, but the question is if, in regards to the
localtimezone setting on the box you see anychance to adopte the days shown
there.

(if GMT-6 < 23:59 and GMT+Localtimezone > 23:59 then day=day+1)

Not a big problem just to mention it!

Cheers

Fred
