I've got mine to work on google.com/ig but occasionally get the same error message but can't get it to work on yahoo or live.com. Again any suggestions welcomed. Cool - now we have rss2 feeds that work on Google, and Atom feeds that work on yahoo and live.com... I'll have a closer look over the next few days, would be nice to get everything to work everywhere. Talking of Google, strangely my Atom feeds work perfectlly well in the Google RSS reader (reader.google.com), but not on the google personalised home page.. Cheers, Mario.

In response to someone's Idea posted on the backstage site, I've made some very simple Atom RSS feeds available that show what's on now/next on BBC TV channels. I've got em working in a number of places on live.com etc but you'reright. No luck on google/ig/ Also. The nownext complete feed doesn't seem to be picking up the data for cbbc and cbeebies ?? nice one.Jem, backstage team Thanks Jem, are you sure the last issue (not picking up cbcc/cbeebies) isn't just down to the number of items the aggregator displays? All entries have the same created timestamp (the time the feed xml was generated), so I guess if an aggregator was to display the last 5 items in a feed, it would just pick the top 5 entries in the feed. Re. google/ig, as I just mentioned in the previous post, the feeds work fine with the google rss reader (reader.google.com).
