If anyone reading this from the UK has sky then you should check out sky by broadband - its not sky broadband its a different service altogether.
You can go online and download the movies or sports clips and watch the for up to a month I think it is. The only catch is that you can install it only the one pc so if you use the service (which is free if you have sky) then be careful where you install the software.
