Interestingly I have been trying out RSS Bandit for the last couple of days and it seems to read my feed ok from home... I'll have to try from work. I have also bought FeedDemon which I really like.
Jeremy: I have no idea.... :(
I read your initial gush on the Bandit and felt for you. I had experienced what you did but wanted you to find your own comfort point. Still I fell nomadic in my search for a reader tool. None do yet all I'd like well enough or in the right balance.
The problems you're describing are very similar to the problems I found with the early RssBandit 1.2.xx series. But Dare and co have cleaned it all up with RssBandit 1.2.0.61 - all the feeds you mentioned parse fine, now. Stick with it and update...
I had the same problems last time I tried it out. As you mentioned I really want to switch to RssBandit, however, every time I do I end up switching back in the matter of a couple hours.
