  MPlayer will stream video if your connection is fast enough and if
your CPU is also fast enough. I doubt that 100 MHz is anywhere near fast
enough, and may not be fast enough even for playback.

  However, MPlayer will capture a stream and save it to hard disk.

either:
  mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile  filename  URL_to_stream

or:
  mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile  filename  -playlist URL_to_stream

  Substitute "filename" and "URL_to_stream" in the above lines.

  Well I certainly haven't !
