The Weather Network launched an official application for the Android TV platform today, bringing live weather and even traffic updates directly to your HDTV. The app displays a forecast when not in use, giving you accurate information at a glance. When the app is opened, you can view detailed weather information as close as 0.6 miles of where you are using a US zip code.
Other features include radar and traffic flow maps, allowing users to keep an eye on local traffic conditions, as well as a Voice Control functionality that grants you access to weather, videos, photos, and other features by using your gorgeous speaking voice.
The app is free to download from Google Play directly to your Android TV set-top box, so have at it.
