I've been messing with the Headlines module lately too and have been experiencing similiar issues. One thing I noticed is that some feeds take about 24 hours to activate. The BBC ones I added were like that. And if they require a different encoding from the default, it can be frustrating having to change it and wait again. For sites that don't display immediately I think I'll just do three subscribes -- one in each encoding format -- and then delete the ones that don't show up.
I've also tried the XOOPS port of myHeadlines but it is throwing errors and not allowing me to administer it to set it up. I really like the multiple display options with easy to configure feeds from a huge compiled list. Alas, no one replied to my queries on whether the module was broken for them or if it's me and my choice of themes. More research....
Best of luck. I'd like to see RSS feeds become more manageable in XOOPS in the future. The ability to have them feed in and an admin be able to click a box to display on the news page would be nifty. Another display format I'd like is the ability to show multiple feed info in date/time order rather than grouped by feed.
