Click the link and it should open in the Media player. However, sometimes it stops (and apparently switches to audio mode) soon after starting. To avoid that, click the "+" button on the screen when it is still connecting. Then you can create a "video bookmark" in Media player's Video folder, and that does not seem to have the same problem.

These are the streams used by http://www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/live/tv/. The resolution is poor, but the streams work well even over the mobile network (at least Vodafone).

Of course, you need a TV licence to watch these, and probably also to be in the UK.
