Right-click "Connected Media" in the tree, Add Website...

FWIW, I save the URL in a playlist instead of connected media. That way I can access it from Theater View as well.

thanks for the replies
the above method did work but a bit messy it seems it more intended for adding a website, not an stream.
however it did add the stream to the list of sites and when clicking on the stream the dialog box came up asking if you wanted to add it to the connected media list. after doing that the site entry can be deleted again.
a simple add button  on the selected media page would be more elegant
