Yes, you can re-watch previously streamed stuff for a while, depends on how the streamer sets it.
I'm with you on the "I'm not normally a stream fan", especially for twitch's case, it's laggy, loses audio frequently, and it likes to crash when too many folks are chatting at the same time. Time is not good for me either, so I hope they'll put it on youtube or swtor after the stream for easier access. Down with that lame, twitching site
edit: "Plus, don’t miss your opportunity to own your own Nar Shaddaa Sky Palace with three room unlocked" thx, but I already have the 5 room version unlocked
They put a clean looking blog post up for it now:

Decorations can be placed by entering Edit Mode and selecting one of the many decoration hooks located throughout the Stronghold. This will open a list of all of the decorations you own that can fit into that hook, sorted by category. Once you've selected the decoration you want, you can click Place to put the decoration in the hook. This will pop up a few addition controls which allow you tonudge, rotate, and pick up the furniture.
Hooks are defined primarily by surface type and size – for example, a medium floor hook fits any medium-sized furniture that belongs on the floor, such as tables, beds, shelves, computers, etc. Banners, placards, and structural pieces might fit into a medium wall hook.When you first enter your Stronghold, you should find a variety of hook options laid out in such a way that you can immediately start decorating in an intuitive way.
Hook system. Slightly more flexible than LOTRO, but still hooks. Interest: extinguished.
Thanks for the link...sorry you are not interested but many will be...good luck on finding something that interest you...
My biggest hope for the housing and everything is that it will finally spell the end of the damn circular space stations.
I'm not too sure whether that will actually succeed, but it would be the best thing to happen to this game since launch. They're the most boring capitals in any MMO I've ever played and one of the things I keep hating when I come back to the game.
Running circles there just pisses me off, especially because they've got a whole bunch of interesting SW locations that go unused.
I usually sat on Coruscant / Dromund Kaas all the time instead, but I was still forced to go back to the station often because of the teleport functions and the instances.
Feel free to use my referral link for SW:TOR if you want to test out the game. You'll get some special unlocks!
While I keep yapping about the housing revamp in LotRO, hooks are not an overly bad system, personally I'm goofing around with the housing since years now in LotRO. Could it be better? Sure. There's Rift for example. But still, it's a working one...
In TOR's case it's even more easier, so far there was no housing. Hook system is obviously better than nothing
That's a good mindset to have, and I can't be mad at you liking it for what it is.
I've seen someone compare it to Animal Crossing, which isn't a bad way to place things; your house floor is a grid and furniture takes up one, two or three squares at a time at which point you can rotate or slide things around. It's also a good system for kids, although adults obviously like it too(especially when playing with your kids). I think SWTOR's strongholds are poor in the context of comparing it to other MMOs on the market, especially when they knew what other games' housing was like. I do hope you enjoy it though, probably the best thing I saw was the public listing so you can visit others layouts and get ideas/compare to your own, similar to Wildstar's.

Thanks for the link
I actually like it a lot. I am not a big fan of housingm but this got me actually excited. This place is huge and it's going to take a real effort and time to get it done. I like the fact that you can change to the different layouts it's quite different.
This is going to be fun!

Evening all. To coincide with the theme that was set this week for the housing competition i am running, which was "Sci-Fi", although i am not in the competition i participated anyway. I decided to create Hoth with the AT walkers to the best of my ability without snow (please put this in Carbine). A link below is to the competition which will be running on a weekly basis for those who are on Hazak server, and later on this week all the entries will be going up here. Anyways apologies for the rambling. Tron
