I saw the first 3 words and thought Old Boy had retreated to another thread having been cornered in all of the existing ones.

But yes, a situation where you can't record and time shift "live" events is sub-optimal. I've on more than a few occasions started to record a Grand Prix with the intention of catching up during safety car incidents or lulls to then watch the end of the race 'live'.

I think the PQ issue is a good one. Those currently paying Sky and BT top dollar for high bandwidth 4K content aren’t going to settle for lower bandwidth, more compression etc as a streamer tries to squeeze as much as they can into 10 meg for example.
