Look into Sipie... saves you a lot of trouble with grabbing urls, etc.

http://freshmeat.net/projects/sipie/

Requires mplayer, python + one module, wxpython if you want a GUI. Check
the readme here: http://eli.criffield.net/sipie/sipie_README

It's not pretty, but I've found it to be functional, and makes changing
channels tremendously easier.
