Might be interested enough to try it out and see how well it runs, but OD will be mandatory for me to consider it.

as ESPN will be using the SKY feed maybe ESPN doesn't care as much because its not original programming from their point of view.
hope the exclusive Canadian broadcaster (who also use the SKY feed) will be as generous.

if one already has a VPN then i would think there are any number of markets they could connect to an watch for free anyways.
off topic, but ISPs here are apparently starting to crack down and throttling internet access via VPN services. i suspect similar things are going on in other markets as well...its getting harder and harder to do that dance unfortunately.

good question...i would imagine that the full experience/on boards/live timing should all be available on demand and properly synced for later viewing but you never know.
does seem a bit rushed though...reading on some other sites that the ability to push to TV via apple tv/amazon/android will not be available at launch and no mention for apps for xbox or ps4.
of course on can always cast from their computer/web browser to their TV but with that there is typically a problem with resolution and frame rates. being able to watch on the tv is why i bought the tv in the first place.
also no subscription page up yet as far as i can tell. seems like that is something that should have launched the day the announcement was made.
