Hi robbiemcd,
I have a Cyfra + prepaid card. Bought it directly from Poland from a very reliable shop after doing a lot of tedious search. It includes the four Canal + package:
C+ Polish, C+ Films, Cyfra+Sport and Cyfra+Sport 2). Eurosport and Sport Extreme.
Worth every penny.

Answers
A1: Yes (although there is an option for original audio, but it is always in Polish)
A2:You can see the format for each event in the schedule page
_http://www.canalplus.pl/main
_http://www.canalplus.pl/program
Select the two sports channels on the left and then hit szukaj (for search) and you will get the details
At the bottom of the page you will see the meaning of the icons.
16/9 is almost all the time. (powt.) means repeats
A3:Excellent picture quality. I don't have Art but I measured the bitrate and it is quite high.
A4:Check out the schedule for Saturdays. I am not a FB fan myself, so can't really tell you from experience
A5:See A4
A6:See A4

Edit: Just in case you got confused with the other Polish package, Cyfrowy Poland, I have the Cyfra + Package

I have the card. U only get one match at 3 and the 5:30 one too. they show lots of Serie A, La-Liga and Ligue 1 France. All in all it isnt bad. u can watch some wednesday football that sky doesnt show as well. As for quality it is good picture but commentary is in Polish so what i do is I use BBC 5live

wod

it looks like they are going to show 12:45pm kickoff as they have the hull - chelsea game in the program listings _http://www.canalplus.pl/program/

so this might be good for the games on sky/espn and a 3pm kick off game

personally not bothered if no eng audio as long as can see the game. so might be cyfra+ and digitalb

Nolia

they r gonna show
Chelsea Hull, Arsenal Everton, Spurs Lpool, Man Utd Burnely
generally its a good service and better picture quality... commentary is in Polish. u can use 5live but there is about 2-3sec glitch...
