Hi again. I've been googling again. I'm a bit stuck for live video streams as 
I'm on dialup, but a link I found on google suggests using "mmsrip", which is 
available from freshrpms. For FC6 (zod) see.
http://zod.freshrpms.net

If you read french the link I found on Google is.

http://www.llaumgui.com/post/Telecharger-un-stream-MMS-Microsoft-Media-Service

This is basically saying that the mms protocol doesn't allow you to download 
some videos using the wget command. To download these streams it is necessary 
to use the mms ripper utility, which you can get from freshrpms.

Just another suggestion, if it's any help.

I'm still Googling this problem. My french is nowhere near perfect, and 
Firefox insists on connecting me to Google.fr which doesn't help.

All the best.

Nigel.
