You will still have to rent their "boxes" and pay the fees and add-ons of a normal cable TV service. True streaming lets you watch on your TV through a ROKU box, Fire TV box, or Apple TV box without these charges, and is far less expensive. You can also watch these streaming services anywhere - on your phone or computer as well. And that is what cord cutting is all about.

"TRUE STREAMING" is watching something on the web or through a network either through an app or a website with NO need for any dedicated hardware such as ROKU box, Fire TV box, or Apple TV box. Yes, you can "stream" through those devices but they do not define "streaming" (true or otherwise).
The OP is looking for a way to make use of his account from one location at another without having to pay for service or hardware twice.
