Big Brother US is about to start which means if I can't figure out a way to watch the live feeds in SL I am going to have to choose between SL and BB. The horror! And ironic since I originally joined SL to watch BBSL

Big Brother US feeds are RTSP and involve a login (I'm not sure if that is a problem or not - I can remain logged in on my computer and don't have to log in every time I pull up the feeds in RealPlayer). I have tried three or four tv/video systems so far, one of which supposedly DID play RTSP but that one I could never get to work at all. I'd love any recommendations of systems to try or suggestions as to how to make this work. Please help me! Don't make me leave SL for the summer!

ETA the rtsp address ends in .rm so I guess it is a Real Media file

If I'm not mistaken, videos and movies that are streamed into SL must be in Quicktime format.

Hm ... but I have seen references to the streaming into SL of real-time events (sports, meetings, lectures) ...
