Cheers Nick, that makes sense.

Yes it is, Inuk multicast all their traffic over JANET and although  
the video is only viewable with their client or a lot of fiddling  
around with graphedit and DLLs in Windows the radio stations are all  
plain MPEG2 audio and can be listened to quite happily in VLC. We  
have a local SAP announcer on campus that lists all the Inuk radio  
streams for the use of people who can't/won't use the Freewire client.
