If you don't have that plugin yet, you can get it at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...omponents.mspx.

The way I bypassed my browser was by right clicking on "windows media stream" and copying the link. Then, I opened up VLC media player (also free download http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html), went to open network, then pasted the link into the media resource locator (MRL). It opens right up in a window where you can change the window size and what not.

There may be easier ways of doing this, but this was the best I could figure. Now I just need a way to watch this on my iPhone!
Install Flip4Mac and I'd use Safari over Firefox. Or you could just use Quicktime to stream from a url. The video is supposed to be small. That's the resolution of the stream .
