Keeping up with new things on the web can be a full-time occupation. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a system that allows you to get the latest content on Film Network, and many other sites, delivered straight to you via feeds.

In order to view RSS feeds you will need to use a feed reader (or news reader). In essence, the feeds themselves are just web pages, designed to be read by computers rather than people.

Once you have got a feed reader, click on any of the orange RSS buttons below for feeds that you are interested in. You can then subscribe to the feed in various ways, including by dragging the URL of the feed into your feed reader or by cutting and pasting the same URL into a new feed in your feed reader.

Most sites that offer feeds use similar orange buttons but some may just have a normal web link. To find other RSS feeds across the bbc, look out for this symbol:

There is a range of different feed readers available and new versions are appearing all the time.

Different news readers work on different operating systems, so you will need to choose one that will work with your computer.

Some browsers, including Firefox, Opera and Safari, automatically check for feeds for you when you visit a website, and display an icon when they find one. This can make subscribing to feeds much easier. For more details on these, please check their websites.

To find a free reader you could try typing in 'free feed reader' into your search engine and downloading one from there.
