Have to choose which game to stream if more than 1 kick-off at the same time.

I have to do this to watch my favourite team play midweek championship matches and I am not in favour.

I am waiting for someone to tell me the positives behind this retrograde step.
I don't know the answer to that, but surely that depends on what the provider decides. There is no reason why you cannot rewind the match from where you start or view it later. You can do that on the BBC iPlayer, so it is not the technology itself that prevents this.

You are correct in saying that you cannot record the stream, but its availability after the match could still be accessed, dependent on what the service provider decides/negotiates.
