I'd love to see a SAAS product for watching sports. Similar to Netflix in terms of UI and pricing, but also with the support for live content. I know this probably won't happen any time soon since major US telecom providers have exclusive broadcasting rights to major sports games.

This looks promising. Although, it seems they only offer NFL, soccer, and tennis coverage currently. Hopefully some day they'll add NHL and NBA games as well.

Not just the US -- BT paid £1.18 billion for 3 years worth of football which is just insane.

Not affiliated with them in any way. And the pricing is higher than Netflix.
