When you access the "open recent" file on the Real Player, it takes it's
cue on where to get the stream from a file in a "temporary" file stored
on your computer.  Sooo, if the station that is "blacking out" a feed is
not actually ending their feed but rather changing the link on their web
page then by opening the "open recent" file you get the station feed by
passing their link on the page....uhh, I at least that's my theory....
