If you've been beta testing Big Screen Headlines 2, you may have noticed that the program stopped working on August 1st. So far, no new beta has been released, so the best RSS/podcast application for Windows Media Center has been unavailable for most of the month.

It looks like developer Nial Ginsbourg is putting the finishing touches on the next version of of Big Screen Headlines and expects to push out a new beta within the next week or so. Here are a few of the new features you can expect:

New menu system with 4-way navigation
Support for displaying thumbnails, comments, and other extensions
More options for sorting/filtering/viewing feeds including forward/reverse ordering and the ability to change text size
Support for dynamic OPML 2.0

It looks like the full version of Big Screen Headlines 2 should be out soon. So if you've gotten used to having a free RSS reader, you might need to dig into your wallet and find $15-25. No beta lasts forever. Well, except perhaps for Gmail.
