content: I changed the itunes feed as an experiment. Have changed it back, but it could take a few days to update.Please be aware that my continued support of the podcast version of the blog is not guaranteed, I do not intend to keep it going indefinitely.

content: The iTunes feed still does not work for me (Germany). Even within the iTunes Store, the feed shows only up to episode #491, so to resubscribe is not a solution. Can anyone in Germany confirm that?Thank youThomas

content: Still no further episode than #491. Would you mind to recheck the settings? I'm also using a Mac, and frankly I wouldn't change the iTunes feed. Thank you Dave for considering us.

content: While the iTunes Store (iTS) still shows only up to #491, I was able to update a newly added podcast, following this procedure:Open up iTunes, go to File -> Subscribe to Podcast, enterhttp://www.eevblog.com/feed/in the URL textbox, click ok. This creates a new entry in the podcast list called "EEVblog - The Electronics Engineering Video" [ the old one had "Podcast feed" added to the name.So I have two Podcast feeds now, the old one up to episode #491 and the new one (#463 - #501).This new podcast feed gets updated, so this means the feed.rss file is correct. As I circumvent the iTunes server, the error must be within the iTS. It looks that it does not update the feed anymore, due to a blocking status on the iTS side. Maybe you could contact Apple iTunes support to look into it, otherwise the EEVBlog probably vanishes from the iTunes directory...I also looked at your feed.rss, I couldn't find any issue other than it's not nicely formatted.Hope this helps a bit to everyone.Thomas

content: Yeas, it's working again with the old feed in iTunes. I rechecked iTS, this is working as well.So it seems that:<itunes:new-feed-url>http://www.eevblog.com/feed</itunes:new-feed-url>did fix the problem.Thank you Dave!
