*sigh* 
 unfortunately I have not been able to get this script to work. 

The trouble is, Mythweather refuses to let me change from BBC-3day-XML to any 
other source.

In MythFrontEnd, when I go to Utilities/Setup -> Setup -> Info Centre Settings 
-> Weather Settings -> Source settings 
the current source is selected (BBC-3day-XML). I've tried M, i, enter, space, 
r, d, etc but nothing will let me change the source to use these new scripts 
(or any of the others in the .../mythweather/scripts directory).

I've tried deleting the 'Active' screen, but MythWeather refuses to let me do 
that - the 'Finish' button does nothing when there is no active screen.

So, any clues as to how I can fix this?

(BTW MythTV source via svn: 23237)

Thanks
