3) huge amount of my broadband usage - not a issue as most are unlimited
4) inability to record to watch at a later date (rarely in when matches are on) - you can record streams on pcs you will need software to do this thouigh, i believe some boxes may offer this too.

Only works out cheaper if you bin one or both of sky and BT - otherwise must be an additional cost (unless it is free)

As for recording streams on a PC, if I wanted to watch on a PC sized screen I wouldn't have bought my 48" flat screen

Another question - are these streams in a minimum of HD quality?
