A response from James Clarke re some questions I asked. I've bought it and I think it should be okay. First Q I was actually asking how much bandwidth per match stream it'll use on the basis of that will indicate the quality of the recording (rather than it being too much)Thank you for your email.
Hopefully I have addressed your points below
"1) You'll have no problem with the stream at your end, unless your are on a very poor internet connection. By the nature of the technology we are using, just about all modern machines and connections will be able to handle both the live stream and the re-runs of the game. The quality of the matches will be better than the highlights, but a lot of this is subject to camera quality and positioning which changes from ground to ground. Naturally, blowing up this will reduce the quality but we'll offer the service in as finer detail as possible. Unfortunately, the limitations of online coverage do mean we are still not quite there with high definition television style footage just yet. However, I am sure it will be to your satisfaction.
2) The match footage will archive within the site so you can watch whenever. The live stream of Airlie Night and Match Day will be a live broadcast.
3) Your code will give you access wherever you are.
4) Unfortunately, there won't be downloadable versions of the game to prevent plagiarism. The DVD's will be available in store and to subscribers for those who want the added bonus of being able to watch the games through the television at home and add it to their collection.
5) No, the footage will archive games purely from this season due to limitations on the server"
