I don't know about anyone else, but I am not prepared to pay a subscription and get a sub-standard service.

Give me a standard channel broadcast any day.
Well, that assumes that the problems experienced in the States would be likely to be replicated here.

Hazarding a guess, I would say that Virgin Media subscribers with a V6 and a superhub should not experience such problems, provided that the streaming service itself isn't at fault.

As I pointed out earlier, there are no problems with live streaming on BBC's i-Player.

But you are right, sports fans would not pay out for an inferior service.
