The football streams are never going to be anywhere near 640x480 and certainly not 24fps.
One hour of video encoded at 300 kbit/s at a 320×240 resolution will be:
(3,600 s · 300 kbit/s) / 8,388.608 = 128.7 MB of storage
The maths:
Check the wikipedia for more info.

I've not tried this streaming stuff and I suspect they compress it a fair bit but I'd be surprised if a match is less than a couple of hundred MB with any sort of reasonable quality.
wouldn't want to watch a tiny window and low frame rate for footy!
you can drop to do 60 Kb/s if you can put up with a tiny window and stuttering frame rate

I don't bother with a little stuttering window - just can't do it.
I use a slingbox instead - allows me to watch the Sky footie anywhere around the house and when I'm away from home on business.
High bit rates, but much preferrable from my point of view.

Thing is, most of these streamed games are not shown on any UK TV channels, thats the point. They're often on channels like Shanghai Sports & Guangdong.

As Dunk says these are for games not on any Uk channels. I watched the United - Newcastle game last Sunday and one I had a good feed it was pretty much faultless. The quality is perfectly fine at full screen to watch. You can tell who is on the ball no problems. Some feed even have the Prem commentary
