Here's the thing about Silverlight 1 (and probably 2). With the standard (non-Silverlight) embedded Windows media player plug in (as in prelims today), you can right click on the running video, go to properties, and get the video URL.
Then open the stand-alone Windows Media Player program. Go to file, open URL, paste it in and voila, you can relocate it on your screen, resize it as you wish, instead of being stuck with the embedded version.
Silverlight wont let you grab the video URL...So I uninstalled it. (I used this URL technique extensively for MLB TV.)
It didn't work for me tonight until I installed the new BETA Silverlight 2. I already had Silverlight 1 installed, but it only gave me a blank screen until I broke down and installed the beta halfway through the first heat of the ***. I can't believe they make you install beta software to see it - very uncool move.
