I'm new to this forum but I have seen the display you referenced. I am talking about live weather radar that updates often. I can appreciate licesning restrictions but it seems NEXRAD radar is available from a host of sites and there are plenty of vendors making use of it for my iPod Touch. Why would Squeezebox be any different? I would think the NWS radars, being governement, would be in the relm of public domain (though I surely don't know). It seems that everyone makes use of the NWS radar information and repackages it into their own product. The Weather Channel, for instance, doesn't operate their own radar system, nor Weather Underground, etc. They're using NWS data. An app for DirecTV uses NWS radar data directly. That's the type of thing I'm talking about. It seems to me that the Squeezebox Radio, with its nice color display, is perfect for an app like this. As you state, I'm sure there are licensing problems I'm not aware of, but I don't understand why. Can you explain further? The product you refered me to is fine as far as it goes. It produces current stats. But I want to SEE what's going on, in color, and we finally have a product capable of displaying it. Weather radar is a natural extension of what you're already doing.
