Hi All,

I recently blogged about my Dreambox – Freeview Set-top Box, and after a bit of poking around today for something else, discovered that there's a RSS Reader available for the Dreambox. To install the RSS Reader, press the blue button on the remote (I'm using the PLI image), select Software Management, select Downloads,  select Addons/plugins... and select RSS Reader to install.

Once installed, you can manage your RSS feeds by modifying the file \var\tuxbox\config\rss\feeds.xml. Below is a quick file I put together to test functionality, feel free to use as base.

To start the RSS Reader at any time, press the Yellow button on the remote, and select RSS Reader to view your feeds. Here's a few screen shots below.
