Downloads a 290M .flv file. Either leave as is, or convert with
ffmpeg/menconder.

Ah, thanks Mark.

The key seems to be based on your browser session.
So I viewed source.
Looked for cdn and found a pile.
Then I just HTTP decoded that string which yielded the correct key and
then constructed the URL in the same browser to save it.

wget won't work since it will have a different session.

So the URL you provided downloads an ON2 type file (I haven't heard of
it), you can see the ON2 in the URL itself.

The only FLV files I could get were smaller in resolution:

But I will download it and see how it looks on the TV.

Thanks for the hint.
