Most of that is in the form of media consumption – music, television, movies, books, etc. I’ve been thinking about overhauling my use of technology lately.
#PLAYON LIFETIME SUBSCRIPTION NOT STREAMING PLUS#
So give PlayOn Plus a try, I don’t think you’ll be sorry.įiled Under: Technology Tip Tagged With: PlayLater, playon Attempting a Digital Media Overhaul: Music, Movies, and Television Any Time, Any Place Still, it’s nice to watch what you want even when there isn’t an internet connection available. Recording shows/movies to watch later from a rental like Amazon Prime defeats the purpose of “renting.” Also one could conceivably record a year’s worth of programming from Netflix and HBO Go and then cancel the service… which isn’t fair to their business models. It’s quite possible that some of this is a legal issue. What’s important is that the core of what PlayOn does, record streaming media, is done very, very well.Īs I mentioned at the outset, let’s keep this a secret. It wasn’t a big deal as I just used my credit card instead. When I tried to use my Paypal account to upgrade, their link simply took me to Paypal’s home page, not a payment option. It has little quirks that suggest that it is a very small company. This issue of getting pricing is unfortunately typical of the PlayOn service.
I’m not sure if they still offer a lifetime subscription like what I have. I’ve read that you can get it for $40 a year. So I can’t see what other pricing is available to you.
#PLAYON LIFETIME SUBSCRIPTION NOT STREAMING UPGRADE#
As a long time lifetime customer, I already had an account and my upgrade was a one-time $10 purchase. They advertise rates as low as $4.99 a month, but if you click on it, you need to sign in or create an account. Getting pricing on PlayOn Plus proved a little difficult. It does work to cast video to a Roku and other similar boxes, but it doesn’t include the Amazon Fire TV Stick that I have in my bedroom. Of course, they simply could just stream from Netflix and Amazon Prime in the first place, so this isn’t very exciting to me.

So all my Android tablets become mini televisions in my house. You can also cast video to device on your wifi network. That sounds very basic to those with a DVR, but if you streaming a Fox show from their website, you are going to get commercials, and you can’t skip them. There’s some other functionality that I haven’t used yet. We missed the first episode, so this service is perfect for going back and grabbing things already aired. As an aside, I have no idea if it is a good show, but my wife is interested in it. I tested this by putting Fox’s new show The Grinder as a subscription. The other important piece of functionality is subscribing to shows, like you would with a DVR. Now I can bring them to the gym with me or anywhere else. To test this yesterday, I grabbed the whole season of Wet Hot American Summer on Netflix. You can record shows in a season with a single click. It’s the functionality that makes PlayOn Plus a game changer. It’s not great, but very, very much improved. (I know I shouldn’t throw stones.) I want to set expectations properly. The interface has transformed from a 1996 web design to a 2004 era web design. Well it was some of the best I’ve spent even before they did that, but now it’s even better money spent. They completely revamped the interface and added new functionality to make it some of the best money I’ve ever spent. The company that makes PlayLater, just changed the game with their PlayOn Plus product.

The biggest problem with the service was that the interface was slow and getting shows was a very manual process of search, expand, record. Move it onto an SD card and you are good to go.

With PlayLater, you get a video file just like any home movie you record. Even if you have an internet connection, streaming Netflix on it is typically useless. A few months ago, I commented to my wife that we are probably one of a small group of people who have watched House of Cards on an airplane. It covers more or less a hundred video services including Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Go, and the local stuff (ABC, Fox, NBC, etc.). In a previous article, I had written about software/service called PlayLater that allows you to record online video to watch later. Don’t be spreading it around, because it will ruin it for us.
