appearantly, even a sony dvd player can't play their own format (Sony DVPCX995)
"ARccOS had reportedly been discontinued by Sony in February of 2006." -- I think not:-(
I couldnt get it to play on my computer or one of my dvd player (it crashed it I think). Sony is really getting out of control when you cant even watch a bad movie on DVD because they just made up a new format.
I used to live in nearby Bellevue, and could see where the high school resides, and yet could barely recieve their radio. When I got it though, it was decent content. As far as public radio in the area, 89.5fm (Nathan Hale High School) was far superior. I'd be really pissed if that was being shut down. Its really a tradgedy when a public school's radio station is shut down for commercial interest. I don't see how it is even logical for something from Oregon to be moved to Seattle to an existing frequency. That makes no sense! Mercer Island should have enough rich asses to pay for the legal battles though. We can only hope that the fcc stops sucking.
