streaming media live record

There is a website where I can watch full HD football games in live. So this is a live streaming site. I would like to create a program which is able to record the stream media from the website. So if I cannot watch the game, I want to "tape" it for myself. I would like to keep the good HD quality.

Is it possible? If yes, where should I start? What are the steps to achieve this? The website uses adobe flash player. I would like to use python. Is there any better language for this?

Thank you.
