A bit late in the game. Directv Now recently upgraded their system to it almost works right all of the time. They are adding DVR. Vue has been good for some time. SlingTV is OK but a bit clunky on the user interface. Pluto works flawlessly, has a very nice user interface and is free.
I would not think having to have some defined hardware is a good way forward. All you need is an app and an roku if you want to plug into something with using a computer.

It looks like an OTT TV service, complete with Set-top boxes and DVR's all connected to your existing coax plant via MOCA. Their website is quite light on technical details. Has anyone looked into them further? They say that I can get it at my address, and they'll happily take my money and setup an installation time, but nowhere does it list minimum BW requirements or the like. I found a newspaper article from a few months ago where it talked about being only available for Comcast Customers, but RCN (another cable company) may be allowed soon.
