IIRC, that's premium content that's DRM'd up the ying-yang. You would
need a license key from Real to view it, and last I checked there isn't
even a place in the helix player to input it. Might have better luck
with RealPlayer8 for Windows under wine (with license key). Not sure if
anyone ever got RealOne working under wine or not. I haven't tried in a
long time.
