I signed up for this last weekend when I heard about it and was able to catch the Steelers preseason game. It worked great. Sure the quality is not perfect but for me to be able to see Steelers games (esp for $4 a month) is the best thing ever for me.

I've seen talk about it on a few sites now and that is getting me a bit worried, because a) I am not sure how much the NFL, other sports, or cable companies would like it and if they find out about it they will probably put a stop to it, and b) If there are too many people on it I wonder if it will affect the quality- i.e. will the video stutter and buffer constantly, or actually will all the provided slots get filled quickly so you can't get in anyway?

So it seems great so far but I am not sure how long it will last.

I saw the whole past season of Pro and College football through it and will signup again now for the next season. Sometimes they have some problems streaming a game but for $4 month you can't complain. It's great for most us europeans as the college football is not shown here in any TV channel.

I would worry about the games going past their allotted time and then cutting off...for those that have used the service, does this happen?

Nope, usually when a game is being streamed is because somebody is watching it in his TV at same time so they keep the channel on until the game ends, at leats never happened to me past season. The only issue i had for one Dolphins game past season was that the streaming guy couldn't not be at home in time so it started to be streamed in the 2nd quarter, but not usual.
