There was a post about this same topic that I ran across the other day doing some other research on the everythingiphone forum. http://www.everythingiphone.com/forum/iphone-software/streaming-live-video-to-iphone-7543.html
They stated there that: "According to TVersity.com the iPhone, due to lack of RTSP support, is incapable of live streams (not a problem with pre-converted streams though). They are adamant about this, so if you say otherwise I'd really like to see an example (in order to show TVersity)." Reference the link above for more on the discussion. I would suggest pre-converting your programs and then doing some sort of scheduler that would replace the current movie that the stream is pointed to or something to that effect - haven't put much thought into it - to create the same type of functionality. I'm not that experienced in this type of technology, just thought I would share what I had found previously. Hope it helps steer you in the right direction.
