Parsing rss feed using xml serializer - windows-phone-8

Question

Can anybody please tell me how can I parse this Url
http://bitcast-r.v1.sjc1.bitgravity.com/objectinfo/MIB/radio/inbradio_play.xml
such that all items in feed except the first item should be displayed in listbox.I am unable to understand how to parse omiting the first item.
This is the code I was using for parsing.But in this case I was getting all items of a feed.
But I need not get first item (i.e) torilive.How can I parse such that I should not get first item
MainPage.xaml.cs:
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
// is there network connection available
if (!System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable())
{
MessageBox.Show("No network connection available!");
return;
}
// start loading XML-data
WebClient downloader = new WebClient();
Uri uri = new Uri("http://bitcast-r.v1.sjc1.bitgravity.com/objectinfo/MIB/radio/inbradio_play.xml", UriKind.Absolute);
downloader.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(ChannelDownloaded);
downloader.DownloadStringAsync(uri);
}
void ChannelDownloaded(object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Result == null || e.Error != null)
{
MessageBox.Show("There was an error downloading the XML-file!");
}
else
{
// Deserialize if download succeeds
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Channel));
XDocument document = XDocument.Parse(e.Result);
Channel channel = (Channel)serializer.Deserialize(document.CreateReader());
listBox.ItemsSource = channel.Collection;
}
}
Channel.cs:
namespace Sample
{
[XmlRoot("rss")]
public class Channel
{
[XmlArray("channel")]
XmlArrayItem("item")]
public ObservableCollection<Items> Collection { get; set; }
}
}
Items.cs:
namespace Sample
{
public class Items
{
[XmlElement("title")]
public string title { get; set; }
[XmlElement("link")]
public string link { get; set; }
[XmlElement("image")]
public string image { get; set; }
}
}
Hope anybody helps.Many Thanks in advance.

Nice program :)
C#
void ChannelDownloaded(object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Result == null || e.Error != null)
{
MessageBox.Show("There was an error downloading the XML-file!");
}
else
{
// Deserialize if download succeeds
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Channel));
XDocument document = XDocument.Parse(e.Result);
Channel channel = (Channel)serializer.Deserialize(document.CreateReader());
// remove the first item
if (channel.Collection.Count > 0)
channel.Collection.RemoveAt(0);
this.myListBox.ItemsSource = channel.Collection;
}
}
XAML
<ListBox x:Name="myListBox">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Border BorderThickness="0,0,0,1" BorderBrush="Red">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding title}"></TextBlock>

<Image Source="{Binding image}" Width="50" Height="50" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"></Image>
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
