Well, for the iOS stream, it would have to be done from an iDevice... the server will reject any attempt to stream if the device isn't an iDevice... and user-agent spoofing *will not* get around this....
iDevices send out http requests for videos at a level much deeper than the browser, and you cannot get around this as it's within the iOS webkit. You can't get around that and so the streaming server will reject the request
It's true that jailbroken iDevices can then recover the video from the cache. However, this is useless since the cached video is 128bit encrypted and the public key has long disappeared from the cache
