Same here. I'd also like to point out that the other feeds either 
require expensive hardware (H.323) or software with onerous licenses 
(RealMedia or Windows Media). I can freely download everything I need 
to view most other multicast streams - Vbrick proprietary being the 
only (and really annoying) exception. Of course you could use the 
free tools to do unicast as well. . .

I'm sure I should have done that, but I have my reputation as a 
troublemaker that I have to keep up ;)
