Sorry for the late response..
It seems there is a cookie banner and registration popup in front of the (rss) news sides. That's bad.
So for the moment, use the 'latest News' fix reciepe.
Not so much content, but better than nothing?!

regards

[Moonbase59]

Thanks for the workaround! Yes, better than nothing… :-)

Do you think there’ll be a solution, eventually?

[VoHegg]

I don't know exactly.
It seem they change their cookie behavior. So there is a need of accept a dialog.
This could not happen with the automated download in calibre.
But that is not a problem of calibre.

I use RSS Guard under Linux too, and the t3n Side gives me any information too.
In this context (as a user of an offline RSS Reader ;-) ) i wrote them an email, why i don't get any news any more.
The answer is still pending.

May it could help to write another email, ask for (offline) RSS Reader support ?!
