Comcast Stream: $15 to watch live TV, no cable package needed

Comcast yesterday launched an online streaming video service for its Internet customers; the $15-per-month "Comcast Stream" will include live TV from HBO and broadcast networks as well as on-demand videos.

In a first for Comcast, the package will not require a cable TV subscription. But it still has a major limitation. Live TV channels can only be watched while customers are on their home Internet connections. When customers are on the road, they'll be able to watch on-demand and recorded videos but not live TV through Comcast's service.

Comcast Stream may end up providing a good amount of out-of-home video, though. Like a cable TV account, a Comcast Stream subscription will still let users sign into channel-specific apps such as HBO Go from any Internet connection.
