We switched to CCC Video. It was decided by the previous Superintendent to do the switch, not sure the reasoning. The staff haven't received it very well though since they could no longer view things like Magic School Bus and Jeff Corwin. The content was a little lacking compared to the vast Discovery channel programming US had, but they are adding more content in and it is improving (they added Bill Nye series in this fall along with a bunch more). The search function is a bit funky and can turn a teacher off if they have a difficult time finding what they want. I hope that it's use will improve, but with the EETT-ARRA grant hoops we are jumping through now, it is no longer a focus since it wasn't part of the grant.
