Another question - are these streams in a minimum of HD quality?
The additional cost is a broadband connection. I have binned all traditional pay TV yet still get Sky Sports and BT Sports (as well as others) for a lot less than you would pay for a traditional pay TV service.

You are a tad out of touch, most PC's can be connected to any TV which has a HDMI port and for streaming and video playback duties can be bought pretty cheaply.

I have yet to find any paid for streaming service that doesn't offer a minimum of 720P HD, when it comes to free services apart from BBC Iplayer the other PSB's are severely lacking in the image quality stakes on their online catchup services.
