easy answer from wikipedia. 224.0.x.x is not the only multicast block

224.0.0.0 to 224.0.0.255 Local subnetwork
224.0.1.0 to 224.0.1.255 Internetwork control
224.0.2.0 to 224.0.255.255 AD-HOC block 1
224.3.0.0 to 224.4.255.255 AD-HOC block 2
232.0.0.0 to 232.255.255.255 Source-specific multicas
233.0.0.0 to 233.251.255.255 GLOP addressing
233.252.0.0 to 233.255.255.255 AD-HOC block 3
234.0.0.0 to 234.255.255.255 Unicast-prefix-based
239.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 Administratively scoped
