Streaming video from China

CCTV-4 seems to be showing taped video of the launch. Here's the direct URL, which should play in Windows Media Player:

I got this from a Web page at:

You have to fiddle with some buttons which have Chinese writing on them, but interesting enough, show English when you hover the mouse.

Quality is very poor, probably reflecting huge numbers of people trying to watch. I've caught jerky segments of the taikonaut walking to the pad, the launch, and what appears to be on-orbit video.
