For God's sake, stop complaining about the VLC player!! All state of the art Set Top Boxes for TV (Dreambox, IPBOX, Kathrein etc..) stream tv using VLC plugin, so a lot of people I guess would benefit from VLC on the Maemo5/N900 platform.. I suppose there is a reason for Dreambox Multimedia (Linux BTW) did choose the VLC plugin.. I am so very much looking forward to VLC on my Nokia N900 (among many other things such as WMV playing and streaming capability, and support for MS Silverlight!) I need VLC on the N900 to be able to stream tv streams from my STB.. Happy New Year !!
