SeeSaw, PayWall, Would You Pay?

If online service SeeSaw went behind a paywall, would you pay per month to view, if so, how much would you pay? For me, I'd pay £5 a month.

You'd be lucky, some episodes cost upwards of a pound each. I've never used it, so can't comment on the quality, but if the eps were 720p where possible, and it had a better selection, I'd pay up to £20 a month. It could be a viable alternative to a sky/VM subcription if it was more convenient and better quality. Failing that, I'd rather pay for a lovefilm subscription or something like that.

Some good points made there, 720p streaming, would'nt that have to be progressive downloading?

For some possibly. An average bitrate of 5mbit/sec should be doable and should give relatively decent quality, so depending how fast you can download from their servers, with perhaps a little buffering at the start, it should be fine.
