Get mplayer (compile from source, not via apt-get) and run

  mplayer rtsp://rmlivev8.bbc.net.uk/farm/*/ev7/live24/wales/live/wales_dsat_g2.ra

Et voila!  It takes a bit of hacking around to the the full rtsp URL for a
BBC web stream but you start at www.dave.org.uk and follow the links
(usually using wget or lynx) and reading the returned data from the
websites.
