Stream and Time warner cable?

I've been considering purchasing a stream, i just wanted to make sure i would be able to stream shows off my home network. I've read in the past that time warner protects all their content, then i had read that this was "fixed" by making you download the show to your device(deleting it off the original tivo if i am correct)



i just wanted to see what the current status was.





and a side note, my current network setup has my router go to a switch that my roamio is on. if i purchase the stream I've read that the stream has to be on the same switch n couldn't be connected to the router instead?
