Is this possible - no, at best you might get a few minutes highlights!

Imagine the uproar if on-demand movies only gave you a 4-5 minute highlight package?

The blurb says it is down to time-shifting, surely you can do this by recording the live programme and watching at a later time.
I'm not quite sure what you are saying here. You can watch live programming or a recording of it for later on demand. Take a look at the BBC i-Player and you will see that this works along those lines already.

There is no reason at all why you can't see the whole match of a game that happened previously, as long as the broadcaster has the rights to do so.
