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?
Yes, but you could ditch Sky or BT if Amazon or one of the other streaming services took over the contract.

If you wanted to retain Sky Sports in the event they lost the contract (ie because there were also other sports you wanted to see as well), Sky would be charging a lot less given the absence of the premiership games.
