PlayOn TV is an application that you download for your PC and basically it allows your computer to stream from Hulu and Netflix watch it now. It then takes that video and passes it on to your PS3 so you can watch everything on your TV.
Verdict: IT WORKS!! REALLY WELL!! after watching new episodes of Family Guy and the Office, I was very impressed with the Hulu functionality. Then I decided to try and stream Netflix. I added some videos to my watch now queue and then looked it up through PlayOn. It works, no codec’s no error messages it just works! The only thing with the Netflix streaming I noticed is the buffer rate has not been perfected so you can catch up to your download while watching, this means that the video becomes a little jerky. that is something to expect from Beta version software. I found out when this happens just pause it for about 5 mins and then start again and it should be fine.
I actually think that this software would be worth buying because finally they bridged the gap between my computer and my TV. Although it is not hard to plug in my laptop to the VGA port on my TV this makes things a whole lot easier.
