unless it actually downloads and uses the receiver.arf (which works differently to the one supplied with rio’s) there is no chance

In that case, no, it's not going to work. The "receiver.arf" is the server-side file which contains the downloadable player application for a real Receiver: it sounds as if Medianet works by serving an alternative player application customised to its own server. Receiver Edition car-players don't touch "receiver.arf" and always use their built-in player application. So it looks like you should cross Medianet off your list.
