Hi I use (and recommend!) FeedDemon (http://www.bradsoft.com/), written by Nick Bradbury (http://nick.typepad.com/), who also wrote HomeSite back in the day.
You also get a newsgatoronline subscription as part of the purchase, and that lets you synchronise your feeds between different installations of FeedDemon or Newsgator Go which I use on my phone.
