Might work if you service provider could ALSO provide live streaming
of ESPN and other channels/live events. But then the price would
likely be as much or more than what you pay for a cable/DBS
subscription.
And it is highly unlikely that this content would reside in your
"personal cloud" like your photos and contacts. Too many copies to
maintain. Existing services typically stream from a few masters, with
massaging to create streams appropriate for the target device. Remote
PVRs have been offered, but the topology is too expensive for mass
deployment.
This is a major reason why access to "the good stuff" requires you to
prove you have an MVPD subscription.
