CBS looks to be streaming from a Flash Media Server on port 1935 (http://www.adobe.com/products/flashcom/) rather than just downloading a static FLV file over http like Youtube etc. do, so I think you're out of luck there unless there are some specialized tools to do that. For MOST sites, like YouTube, you can use the Firebug add-on for Firefox which includes a network monitor that will show you the exact URL (and let you right-click to download) of anything that any page loads.
