History Channel’s RSS Feeds
I’m not a long-time user of RSS feeds. I’ve only bothered to use them recently (less than 6 months). One of the RSS feeds I use in Google Reader is from History Channel. For a few of their shows, they have episode guides in RSS form. It’s a good idea in theory, but they haven’t made it very practical yet. I don’t have a problem with them listing repeats, but what does bug me is the fact that whenever the RSS feed gets updated, the entire feed is republished (or whatever you wish to call it) and the Google lists them all as new, so I have to look through all of the RSS entries each time History Channel decides to update their feed. It’s a real nuisance.
