Default Avbrief?

Most things the Met Office sell are expensive :-(( but thats a whole other
story...

Perhaps the MetO have unplugged their end because of the interesting

weather
... (only joking)

thanks for the reply PJB.

I would too if I was AVBrief - as as far as I am aware the data they
purchase is rather expensive.

PJB - how does that work ? Genuinely interested.

So Raw data comes directly from Radar sites rather than through MetO ?



No it comes from the Met Office, but the feed that drives the web server

is
not the same as what gets sent to external customers such as avbrief.

The
problem was reversed the other week, no website data was available

however
Avbrief was receiving the data.. There is no problem with the radar

network,
it is simply a comms problem at the met office with this particular data
feed. If i was avbrief i would be asking for a REFUND !!

Same here too - stinks to me a bit !

MetO restricting data to its purchasers when interesting weather

around
to
make people subscribe to them rather than AVbrief ?

How can MetO be updating if problem is their end ?

Mark.


They are two different feeds of data.
