I got better results with vlc, but haven't done any real testing.

I have automated the process a bit by creating a simple one-liner script with the following content:

Code:
lynx -source "$1" | grep -o 'http.*flv' | xargs rvlc
I called this script "tvf" and put it in my usual scripts folder.

Now, I can go to the tvforge website and copy the url for the episode and fire up the terminal and paste it as an argument for the script, e.g.

Code:
tvf http://tvgorge.com/shows/desperate-housewives/season-6/you-gotta-get-a-gimmick/
NB: Of course this only works if you have vlc, xargs, and lynx installed.

EDIT: Regarding, lynx, xargs, and vlc, see

But keep in mind that this is unofficial (prerelease) software -- especially vlc -- and install on your own risk.
