EditBy: ReadNews is an RSS News Reader Add-In for Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE). Yes, yet another RSS reader. This one has a difference though. It uses popup windows to browse through the headlines while watching TV rather than taking you off to an html window. You just press a couple of keys on your remote while watching Live TV, or Recorded TV, or a DVD, and the standard MCE popup window comes up showing you your chosen RSS feed.

This has been developed and tested for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. I honestly have no idea if it works on earlier versions, but give it a go if you like.

To modify the news feeds, and to change the access keys to view the news feeds, there is a setup screen, accessed from More Programs. you can free download Read News 1.2 now.
