At first I thought InstantTV is an internet service like youtube but now I see it's a cable service. Am I correct?

YES it's a cable service offered by Xfinity/Comcast if you subscribe to their TV service. If you are a fan of watching TV and don't mind watching on "small devices", e.g. laptop, smartphone, etc. then it is an added value; for me … I don't watch much TV on my 55", so, no thank you YMMV

Right now I'm paying CL $86 used to be $43 for up to 50 MB speed and another $35 to direct tv for stations. It looks like if I switch to Xfinity I'll have all that and more for around $40/month.

Don't forget the additional fees and taxes on top of the regular charges - they mount up quickly, are not quoted initially and must be paid every month as well. For example, taxes, broadcast fee, a charge associated with receiving local network affiliates, regional sports fee (which pays for regional sports networks) STB (set top box) and Digital Adaptors (other TVs) rentals, and on and on. That's another reason I opt for internet only and stream my own media - what little I desire. In PIT I have an attic antenna and HD Homerun to provide HD broadcast TV to other TVs
