    Anyone have a news headlines script that works?

    I used to use Yahoo News script, but it's no longer working. Does anyone have a script that can fetch & speak the headlines in the news? (I do have CNN breaking news).

    Thanks!

      Hey xplosive,

      I like your script & it works pretty well, but I do have a suggestion: I have Homeseer speak these headlines to me, but there needs to be a pause inserted between each one (like 2 seconds or so), otherwise it's one very long run-on sentence! Any way of doing this?

      Thanks!

        ok, I added the option to hs.speak the headlines with a 2 second pause. All you have to do is call the script using custom_cnn_headlines.txt("main","speak"). This way, you could include it in your goodmorning script or trigger it by a remote. If you just run the script without parameters, it will only update the device.
