If you have curl compiled in the php, you could always replace the lines
Backend.php
        $fp = fopen($channel['url'], 'rb');
        if (!is_resource($fp)) {
                        echo '<font color="red">could not fetch channel
file. Skipping.</font><br>';
                        continue;
                }
        ob_start();
        fpassthru($fp);
        $rdf = ob_get_contents();
        ob_end_clean();
With
	$ch = curl_init ("http://www.php.net/");

	curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); // This returns
the output to a var, otherwise it's STDOUT or file
      //curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp); // We would have used this
if we wanted to output to a file
      curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); // Don't print headers (only
body)
	curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, "proxyname/var"); // This is
where the proxy goes

      $rdf=curl_exec ($ch);
      curl_close ($ch);

Hope this helps
Julian
