Its pretty straight forward:

1- Screen -> Right click on the black screen -> Area -> RSS (drag the mouse to create a zone)
2- Left side of the screen you will see RSS -> screen -> Item (RSS) -> value (this would be the web address)
3- Preview the screen.

Thanks for your reply. Do you have a web address for a news feed that I can test? I was looking for a feed that I could place in a scrolling bar at the bottom of the TV.

How would I use this as a scrolling bar? Like a stock ticker?

Eric,

I contacted Bill directly because the link was expired.

Thanks for your help.
