James,  RSS widget indeed uses cache system.
When you add your feed first time system pulls {$n} number of feed items.
After 60 mins when somebody refreshes your site, system pulls {$n} number of items again, thus updating widget's content.

So updates happens once in an hour, giving that somebody refreshes your site by the end of this hour.

ow_system_plugins/base/components/rss_widget.php
            {
                OW::getCacheService()->set($cacheKey, json_encode($this->rss),60 * 60);
            }


I have tested Reuter's feed on my own installation ( I choose World News since they are updated more often http://feeds.reuters.com/Reuters/worldNews), and feed got updated ok.

To make testing easier change the 60*60 value to just 60:
  OW::getCacheService()->set($cacheKey, json_encode($this->rss),60);

This tells the feed to update every minute ( if somebody refreshes your site).
After this change retest with http://feeds.reuters.com/Reuters/worldNews ; feed on your main( not profile) page.
Let me know the results.

That great - thank you Aliia. 

Your code works great but after digging and lots of forum related searching I think my issues relates to cron running. My host restricts it. Just ran it manually and LOTS of things updated.

About to make a phonecall!

Thank you again.

Ok.
Strange though, since RSS is not connected to CRON ( I have triple checked this with developer of this feature since I personally was 100% sure that Cron is involved in updating the RSS).
