1) additional cost - actually works out cheaper than a vm or sky sub (including the fact most vm/sky customers now have BB)
2) smooth service as offered by std to channels - judder and buffering are things of the past i run 1080p streams perfectly on a 38mbs connection so even vms lowest 50mbs should handle it with ease
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.
