Hi, It should be possible to run Windows media player with Ubuntu using wine. At least the Crossover (commercial wine front end) fully supports it and works well on my RHEL5 based work laptop.
Of course you can try for example mplayer with windows codecs (available at mplayer home page) but I'm not sure how well they will work with streams. Here in Finland there's also some broadcasting companies that provide the material only in windows formats. Their argument is that only the windows formats are possible to protect against unauthorized copying. Hrm...
