It does quote digital TV, and it doesn't specify broadcast over radio waves, so I think streaming is already covered.

No need for them to look at your computer. TV companies can easily provide a list of IP addresses receiving streamed live broadcasts. If the government issued a court order to ISPs to provide the home addresses associated with those IPs at that time and date, they would. They already do it for people who share copyrighted films and music.
