It's a great site for the N900 too. You can suck down the .flv file and play it on the KMPlayer. I tried it and it works pretty well. No need to do any conversion on the files.
I have automated the process a bit by creating a simple one-liner script with the following content:
Code:
lynx -source "$1" | grep -o 'http.*flv' | xargs rvlc
Now, I can go to the tvforge website and copy the url for the episode and fire up the terminal and paste it as an argument for the script, e.g.
Code:
tvf http://tvgorge.com/shows/desperate-housewives/season-6/you-gotta-get-a-gimmick/
EDIT: Regarding, lynx, xargs, and vlc, see
http://maemo.org/packages/view/lynx/
http://maemo.org/packages/view/findutils-gnu/
http://www.remlab.net/files/vlc/fremantle/
But keep in mind that this is unofficial (prerelease) software -- especially vlc -- and install on your own risk.

NB: Of course this only works because I have installed vlc, xargs and lynx.

automagically? :-D
Thx. Right now the file names are numeric and not useful for sorting. Thanks.

For some reason i couldn't get Lynx installed. It complained something about dependencies. I'll figure it out.
Presumably your script should work mplayer too right?
