Anyone tried Playon.tv

When I watch my hd channels off of my slingbox it's darn near hi def and the video is perfectly smooth even on 3g. Good to see other alternatives though. I love being able control and watch my dvr anywhere. WHo ever made it was a genius.

 

No Playon does not work directly on Android yet. The current solution for the iPhone is a web app built using html5 specifically for iPhone. Now using it with your phone as the modem and current setup with your Xbox360 will work about the same as Netflix. I use PlayOn for my PS3 and it works very well.

 

sikclown is right,

right now playon only works with iphone and iPad. They are working on an android app thought so check the app market every once in a while for it.

 

I have a Playon Premium account and received this in the mail today:


​

You can now watch PlayOn from your iPhone, over 3G or Wi-Fi! That means you can watch Hulu at the bustop, or The Daily Show on a plane, or MTV in the waiting room. All you need is a licensed version of PlayOn Premium running on your PC and an iPhone.

​

Best of all, we've reopened PlayOn Premium trials so you can try it out today, on us. Download your copy now for 14-days of watching on your iPhone. Of course you'll also have access to all of the other great Premium content.


So of course I sent the "Hey where is the Android version due out" email back. Here is their reply:
Dear ****,

Our engineers are currently working on Android support.

Any word on when the Android version will be ready? Can't wait!

 

I will join the group to exchange tips and testing when they come out with it too. my additional complication is playon runs on my Windows home server,

 

I am a long time user of playon and have seen it change a lot over time. I am actually testing the beta version of playon for the android platform. It's coming along quite nicely and I look forward to having it completed.
For now, there will not be an app to use it, like the iphone, but it will use your web browser. This is because they want a sooner release date. An app is likely to come after the browser version is released and getting installed.
Keep following their site for it, as it is closer and closer to being finished all the time.
You can actually set it up on your phone now and browse the shows and check out the interface already, you just can't execute the streaming yet.
