Remember, the other feature that provides value to the TiVo Stream is its ability to transfer recordings to mobile devices for playback directly from those mobile devices such as a phone or tablet, etc. Without streaming. For some people, the transfer of recordings to mobile devices would be well worth putting up with the live streaming limitations. Frankly, I just don't bother with a TiVo Stream for live streaming of recordings or live TV outside of the home (streaming within My LAN works well). For streaming out of home, I have a Slingbox 500 for that, and it always works very well, but I still value my TiVo Stream for its ability to transfer recordings to mobile devices.
