Stupid question I think ... How is this different from the Livestream Plugin?

Personally Created Stock Footage and Animated Videos for Backgrounds or Screensavers
100+ video files can all be found on my blog: Beachfront B-Roll. All are free.
The clips are a simple "Right click, save" and there is no signup or registering required either.

1.1.0 is out now and you can add your own streams Smile

you can even import them from the same XML file that "That other Plugin" uses. Smile

@Beachfront its not much different I guess, I didn't know that one existed when I wrote this one.

I'll be adding a bunch more channels soon.

The CNN streams will be off and on quite abit depending on the stories they are following. Routinely after midnight EST time they all go dark and then during the day (US time) 1-4 will activate with different coverage. For big stories they go 24 hours (ie they had the Japanese NHK feed for quite afew days live to follow the Japan tragedy, but now I see they no longer have it).
