I have a story like this:

My parents have a semi-expensive digital cable package that includes streaming from a computer. They use it to watch old episodes of their shows from the major networks.

One day, they brought a laptop to the next-door neighbors to watch an old episode. The streaming service wouldn't stream because it wasn't on their home network!

So they have a mobile streaming service that only works from their network, defeating the entire purpose of mobile streaming.
