You can do this for free. Org for windows users and telekinesis for mac users.

Save your $20, you can get orb set up in like 5-10 minutes.

I've set up Orb.... works for pics and audio, but can you stream VIDEO?
Dot.Tunes says you can... has anyone gotten video to stream via Orb?

You can stream video only as fast as your upload is, which means that most of the time you can't do it very well. Short videos like music videos (or anything lasting only a few minutes) will load and play very well (I'm using Telekinesis on a Mac). Comcast (even though its registered upload speed is not that great) uploads faster than Earthlink. Larger video files play better, but really large ones (like full-length movies) eventually stutter and stall.
I found a way around this. It takes a lot of computer time, but it works very well. I upload all the movies (even full length) to my iDisk and put them on my website. They have to be in .m4v format and I have to change their suffix to .mov for the website to recognize them as movies. But then, they play beautifully on the iPhone. They load in about 1 minute and play flawlessly.
