  &lt;p&gt;The broadcasting giant will stream matches live through skysports.com for &#163;3 a pop, as well as offering in-game goal clips and post-match highlights to mobile users.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;It also has expanded its interactive options with goal alerts and multi-game viewing, as well as introducing high definition coverage of matches.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;
    &lt;a href="http://streaming.skysports.com/ucl/public/Help.aspx#q12897"&gt;Mac users&lt;/a&gt;, however, will have to make do with&#160;plain old TV coverage as Sky uses Microsoft&#8217;s DRM system.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Hopefully that system will also prove up to the task, following the &lt;a href="http://www.skymovies.com/skybybroadband/home/0,,,00.html"&gt;suspension of Sky&#8217;s broadband movie service last week&lt;/a&gt; after a DRM glitch.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;
    &lt;a href="http://www.itv-football.co.uk/Story/0,14272,6145_1494309,00.html"&gt;ITV&lt;/a&gt; also plans to stream live matches from its website, accompanied by in-match statistics.&lt;/p&gt;
