AA ignores Webtv with streaming in odd formats

How email AA?
Millions literally, have bought webtv. Yet AA is NOT streaming in RealAudio, the only format we get. RealPlayer not same. We cannot download any executable software, free or not.

Meria Heller streams in RealAudio, so it can be done.

Webtv costs less than a computer, so i guarantee that we webtv'ers are all democrats! Makes no sense to ignore us and stream only to Republican fatcats LOL.

How email AA?

2. Wow...

I didn't know people still were using WebTV units.

I remember selling them when I worked at Sears. While I was in college. 8 Years ago.

I think you can pick up a halfway decent computer from walmart for 199. Or something older and less decent on ebay for under 100. I picked up a Powerbook for 49 from ebay, and use it for light surfing and the like.

I suggest you try that. Don't hold those of us back who have moved into the new century. :)

6. My new Webtv is less than a year old, and I just got an update from them.

I'm in the 21st century, but I'm poor.

4. Did you try the RealPlayer link they have?

I ask, because the site mentions that you can listen on Linux using MPlayer.

MPlayer is a free program that can only handle the most basic Real formats, so it might be RealAudio after all, whatever it says about RealPlayer on the site.
