This might be daft, but how do I select wunderground as a provider so I can get the alerts and such for Ireland? Right now my only options are accuweather.com Global, weather.com, and NOAA - I'm using 2.8.1 and just updated it.
What is odd is I'm now getting precip %, which I didn't get before, even though I haven't changed provider and so forth

wunderground isn't available as a source in Weather+ any longer. Apparently when the XBMC folks stuck the deal with Weather Underground to do the weather feed for XBMC Eden it apparently precluded any other plugin provider from using Weather Underground as a data source. I think the only option if you want wunderground is to start using the Eden beta.

Ahh, I'm embarrassed I missed that. How can I choose TV3 for the weather video?

If your location is in Ireland, video is automatically set to TV3.

i hope you don't mind if i step in for a sec to correct this piece of information.
wundeground has provided xbmc free access to their api and this is a gesture team xbmc appreciates very much.
you can read all about it here:
http://xbmc.org/theuni/2011/12/10/welcome-sponsor-weather-underground/
the problem we had with weatherplus was the fact that it was scraping the wunderground website.
it's like, someone trusts you with the key to their front-door and we would allow someone else to throw in the window to get inside at the same time.
that just didn't feel right to us.
i have discussed our concern about this with brightsr in PM and we have agreed to work together on a way to give weatherplus access to the wunderground weather data.
it's something (besides a dozen of other things) i'm currently working on.
i have it partially working already locally, so if all goes well, weatherplus users should be able to select wunderground as their service provider again in the near future.

When I go to video, for me it still brings up the accuweather European report.

Thanks for the update. I tried to put "apparently" in my post enough to convey that I didn't think I had a full understanding. The clarification is much appreciated.
