This post at WebTVUnleashed links to a UKTV2 play list which promised to allow users to use VLC to play a choice of live television.
However, most of the playlist entries give errors. The one that worked for me was France 24 in English. Here is the exact code for the playlist file "France24.xspf" I created and tested works with VLC both versions 1.0.5 and "1.10-rc-The Luggage":
Copy and paste the above text into a file such as "France24.xspf" and use VLC to open that file. It took VLC a few minutes to connect and buffer the stream but seems to be reliable. A selection of the messages VLC produced during buffering is below:
main debug: connection succeeded (socket = 1480)
access_mms debug: HTTP reply 'HTTP/1.0 200 OK'
access_mms debug: content-length = 5558
access_mms debug: stream type = broadcast
access_mms error: cannot read data 2
access_mms debug: complete header size=5546
access_mms debug: packet count=4294967295 packet size=5600
access_mms debug: starting stream
