Not sure if current 'changes' will prevent/break this, but you can still
'rip' programmes off iView using iViewNapper. Runs on a few platforms
including Linux:

There's also something called rtmpdump (http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/)
which works well, but you'll need to know the URLs to content (which you
can find from sniffing I guess) or perhaps some other software like a
browser plugin or something.

Good luck
