Comment on Show HN: Streem.io - Media Center on the Cloudparent

Your position overlooks the massive file uploads we'd have to do to use your service. That's a lot more content "clogging up your home connection".

That's true. The way we look at it is that it's a one-time hit that you take initially versus always having to keep a computer on at home for streaming using your home connection; we also let you transfer in files through other means, so if you already have some content stored online, you can easily transfer it in.

With most media like TV shows, you only watch it once - so watching it remotely from a home server is the same as your "one-time hit."

Just my two cents.
