Do these play over Media Center? I think they have DRM because it made me download an update. I hate DRM, it violates law abiding people more than hackers :(

As I understand it, you have to download to the device you will watch the videos on. I'm sure you can't use secondary devices which rules out any streaming to your 360.
Anyway it takes far too long to download anything anyway so I wouldn't bother until you hear that the bandwidth has been improved.

Does windows recovery mularky get rid or is it really that bad.
What stops someone from telling their mates about downloading it?

It opens up port 8080 - never a good thing. You need to disable some services to stop it - kservice i think it is. its a pathetic move my sky and they should be shot for it.
