This is supported as an option, but the mechanism for turning it on is 
ridiculously baroque:
         Settings -> Preferences... -> Modules -> access_demux -> livedotcom
         Then click the "advanced options" check box
         Then click the "Use RTP over RTSP (TCP)" check box.

As noted above, VLC supports this also, but, unlike QuickTime Player, it's 
something that you have to explicitly configure.  It doesn't get tried 
automatically.
