Watching IPTV with curl

Hey everyone.

So, I have been trying to watch IPTV channels, since for now I am stuck without tv signal at home.
as always, I would love to do it with through Tor, for privacy and security.

If i open mplayer or vlc and try to play a link like:
" http://btv-net.mediacdn.ru/TVB8/football/playlist.m3u8 "
it works.
same happens when i try to open this other link:
" rtmp://5.153.233.106:443/share/ playpath=live1-rbi6c swfUrl=http://sharecast.to/player/player20.swf live=1 timeout=10 pageUrl=http://sharecast.to/ "

What I have tried to do is have curl (with proxy enabled) suck the content of the stream and play the temporary file in mplayer.

With the second link it works great but the first one fails to suck the content :(

Why could it be? the command I use is simple:
curl --socks5-hostname 127.0.0.1:9150 "http://btv-net.mediacdn.ru/TVB8/football/playlist.m3u8" > tempfile

If anyone here uses IPTV please lend me a helping hand since it is getting boring not having any tv to watch (not that i watch a lot, lol, but when i do feel like watching it i hope it works).
