Xine can play it and will show you the "correct" title and then you can also use mplayer with that number when using dvdnav, e.g. mplayer -nocache dvdnav://17.

If you run the latest update on your wdtv live and go into internet media, then mediafly/mediafly plugins you'll see there's a twit plugin which you can use to access the static podcasts which I know isn't as good, but it's still not bad at all. Sorry I couldn't have been more help. Hopefully mediafly/WD will add a live stream there somewhere as there's already a dedicated twit section so here's hoping! Hi Colin,
