Hi All,

I want to read many RSS feeds but I unable to add them to Thunderbird. I got a "not valid" message. Off line mode adding: not a solution because it not refreshes these channels.

For example, I have problems with these channels: https://www.techradar.com/rss/news/audio The problem appears every TechRadar RSS channels. :( Other RSS readers have no problems with these TechRadar channels. Other channels with this problem: https://nepszava.hu/feed/ https://www.budaors.hu/?module=news&action=rss http://www.kovet.hu/feed/

I want to read these channels with Thunderbird.

What can I do?

Best regards: Mark

Have you approached the site about the fact their feeds are simply not valid.

The validator used shows this for your fisrt feed. http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.techradar.com%2Frss%2Fnews%2Faudio

The validator is provided by the standards group for the internet, the world wide web consortium so I will assume it's reporting is accurate and valid.

I have emailed the team at techradar to ask them why their feeds fail validation. I suggest you do the same.
