    Hello,

    I am having trouble trying to get a specific RSS feed to work properly using RadRotator.

    When I link the RadRotator to http://www.af.mil/rss/TopStoriesByTab.asp?tabId=152  I do not see description or pictures. 

    When I save the af.mil feed as an xml file, testrss2.xml, and link to the file, I do see a description and pictures.  So I tried a different feed:  When I link to feed http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss it does give me descriptions.  There is something about http://www.af.mil/rss/TopStoriesByTab.asp?tabId=152 that is causing a problem with how I’m trying to use RadRotator.

    Is there some obvious thing that is wrong with the af.mil link or the way I have the RadRotator?
    Thank you
