To my displeasure, they force users to install Microsoft Silverlight

See

They do user-agent sniffing and when they detect Linux, they tell
users to install Moonlight.

I悲 rather NOT have the Microsoft clone installed on my system.

Is there any easy way to sniff the video URL for later download using
wget and further conversion using FFMPEG?

You can change the user agent in firefox using *User Agent Switcher*

Thanks but you misunderstood my point. The page senses it´s Linux and
points towards the right plug-in, Mono´s Moonlight, the Silverlight
clone for Linux.

Point is: I don´t have Mono in my system nor I want it or any plug-in.
I´d just want to grab the video URL and download it.

I suspect just like Flash players use FLV files for video, Silverlight
might use some specific video format (wmv?).
