In Windows 7 I watch TV streams that use the VLC plugin; I would like to know how to obtain the stream "address" and open it in the VLC Player itself!?

Then ask on a vlc forum, or the TV support site.

Some companies streaming TV will not be intending for you to operate in such a manner and potentially save their content. Copyright issues are likely to be involved.
