If they have the same content as Netflix and/or Hulu + HBO $15/month is a fair price considering that HBO NOW will run you the same price just for HBO content.

Actually, another point that comes to mind with this service is how limited any streaming service like this will be because of Comcast's usage limits on its consumer services. A single person might be okay, but an entire family using a streaming service like this could wind up racking up hundreds of dollars in overage charges per month. I know because I've personally dealt with the consequences of a family of four using Netflix on Comcast's service.

Ahh that sucks that Comcast has a cap in your area. I'm really glad they don't cap it here in Minnesota. Or at least they don't yet. The day they do will be the last straw and I'll be switching to a new service.

Anyways, since it is there own service there is always the possibility it won't count towards your cap, much as on demand streaming from a set top box doesn't count.'
