I totally agree with you that it is possible to get 1080p recordings of the matches, but TBA has bandwidth and capacity restrictions on it that don't make 1080p video an reasonable option. But hopefully we can get rid of flash video in the near future and use some HTML5 magic to stream the higher quality videos.
Also I don't know of any cheap video capture devices that can take a HD signal into a PC and then have enough bandwidth to stream that to a free service that would webcast HD video to 200-400+ people. Yea I would love for that all to be a realistic scenario, but it currently isn't (maybe in 5-10 years?). I think we have to focus on making the most of what is available to us.
