Jeff,
Check the new link sections I included it there. Unfortunately, there is no official FAQ yet on this topic. This is the idea:

In iSiloX under Channel Properties->Links, make sure that is Follow Offsite Links is ON. There you also find the URL Filters menu. What I almost always do is EXCLUDE *every* link first. Yes, everything Add exclusion filter:

* (type wildcard).

Now we want to make EXCEPTIONS to above exclusion.
For that, I look closely at the links that we want to browse with iSiloX. In Zap2it, I noticed that all the links you want to have contain /tvnewsdaily.html?, example http://tv.zap2it.com/news/tvnewsdaily.html?30388. So let's add that inclusion filter:

\/tvnewsdaily\.html\? (type regular expression, more to that in a moment)

In addition, I looked at the TV News pages and noticed that there are occasionally little images included with the text. We want those too. So another inclusion filter:

\.jpg (type regular expression)

Regular expressions is a way to define patterns. It is easy to crasp but can become quite complex. Use the search engine on this forum where I posted some interesting links to RegEx tutorials.
