Hi,
This is actually a problem (dare I say 'bug') - with MediaCenter start Menu and how it picks up the categories. In this case - the Sports Strip picks up other addins marked in the 'News' category - rather than just the 'Sports' category which I imagine it was supposed to do (which is the case for Big Screen Weather 2). I'm also assuming you're a US user (as they are the only ones who are supposed to see this sports strip as well).
If you really want - I can provide some steps on how to remove this from the Sports Strip (which will also result in it being unavailable in some other places) - however warn it's not for the feint hearted (and requires some raw registry editing/searching to be done with 'regedit'.).
Please however note that many 3rd party addins you install which use this same 'News' category - and hence will also appear in the Sports Strip as well - and the final 'position' in this strip will be occupied on a 'last in - best dressed' basis. (so doing any manual registry editing most likely won't fix the problem permentantly).
thanks
Niall
