It isn't restricted to Apple TVs, it's restricted to anything that runs iOS >=4.2 or OS X >= 10.6.

VLC can play the stream too. You just need the URL ending in m3u8 which can be found here: http://a1.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/000/Features/oct_2012_event/...

In VLC, is it a simple network stream? Or RTP? UDP?

Here's the URL, by the way http://qthttp.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1210pibasdfvoihbadsv/a...

The last stream I had to install QuickTime, though I believe VLC can play it by opening the source URL (check the HTML).

Where do i find the url? The page's html has only one url that looks like a video/stream but it is 404. http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/jun/12oibwefsvihbsdfvpihb...

You can find the M3U8 url here: http://a1.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/000/Features/oct_2012_event/...

I didn't post the M3U8 directly because Apple might change it. I'm sure the XML file will remain the same.

Live Stream has started. Works fine in VLC with the .m3u8 URL from that.

Although I'm finding I am often suddenly loosing connection, I suggest putting it in a playlist on repeat.

Media->Open Network Stream... works for me, but click the playlist repeat button to deal with occasional connection loss.
