EDIT:
Seems like you don't need GreaseMonkey and a script for doing this.
As commented below do the following:
1) log in on gtv
2) go to settings (display settings)
3) linkstyle: game URI
GamesTV will now display connect urls by itself, works with hlsw etc too depending on the linkstyle you pick.
----------
Read someones comment on how he wanted to connect to ETTV servers from his browser and fixed a little script to have a Connect url next to the server IP on GamesTV for lazy people like me.
To use this you need to be using FireFox (for Chrome see my notes at the end).
1) Install Sl.GameLauncher (this program enables clicking et:// links in your browser).
2) Install the FireFox GreaseMonkey addon from here (1 click install, click on 'add to FireFox')
3) Install the GreaseMonkey GamesTV script I wrote from here (click on 'install')
Now whenever you are viewing a Match on GamesTV and you click on the ETTV server name there will be a [connect] url next to the server ip which when clicked launches ET to connect to that server.
Works for Shoutcast servers too.
For Chrome users, you will have to install GreaseMetal but it's trivial since Chrome doesn't have official addon support like FireFox and I haven't tested it. All greasemonkey scripts should work fine in GreaseMetal though.

Thanks for doing it :)
-log in on gtv
-go to settings (display settings)
-linkstyle: game URI
fixed, no need for bullshit scripts =)
Ohwell it was a quick script, thanks for the update, I'll edit the journal.
ctrl+v
is easier
You can view the sourcecode to the js on the script page if you dont trust it, it's only 5 lines of code :)
And yes, ctrl+c->ctrl+v works fine but this is for the lazy people like me.
Isn't so hard really
now just click and instant win =)
easy.
