The new PlayOn Cloud channel lets you watch the shows that you’ve recorded on your PlayOn Cloud account, including automatic commercial skipping. Lean-back viewing has been the big missing piece for PlayOn, and this finally fills that gap. they are merely taking free and paid content that these companies are providing on the net and delivering it to you in a more convenient and singular place.MediaMall Technologies, the company behind our favorite PlayOn and PlayOn Cloud products has recently released Roku channels to allow program viewing on your television screen. I'm not saying this isn't a good idea, I use XBMC personally for access to most of the stuff I use and, yes, sometimes Hulu or someone has changed something and I had to wait for the plugin for that channel to update before it was accessible again but I like the idea just don't think this is a, how to put it, wholly sanctioned approach on behalf of all the content providers they listed. Further, like I said above, some of them require their own subscription. Which means from time to time the channels go down as they change something and the PlayOn guys will have to go and find what changed and update on their end. PlayOn is what I call an aggregator, it connects to all of these different services on it's own for you and presents their content to you in a more unified manner, however, the content is not made for PlayOn nor are these various "channels" made specifically to work with Play On. It's like the XBMC and Boxee plugin situation. This offer can only be redeemed through the Wii U browser, and the year of service is free with no credit card required.Ĭlick to expand.Some of the channels require their own subscription. Interested Wii U users can find information on how to install PlayOn for the Wii U at as well as how to redeem a free year of PlayOn service available today through midnight, December 24, 2012*. So now, instead of waggling a Wii remote, you can use the touchscreen controls to browse PlayOn channels and select from the long list of online content we’re delivering to Wii U users,” said MediaMall Technologies CEO Jeff Lawrence. “The beauty of the Wii U is the tablet-like gamepad that becomes a second screen for watching video or browsing content and options. Without PlayOn, the Wii U cannot play these online channels or home videos, even if accessed through the Wii U browser. Using PlayOn and the Wii U, users can also stream home videos and PlayLater recordings from their PCs to view on their TVs. PlayOn offers Wii U users, who can get a free year of PlayOn from now through Christmas Eve*, access to all Hulu content without paying for Hulu Plus, as well as over 45 other channels that are otherwise inaccessible on the Wii U including HBO GO, CNN, Comedy Central, ESPN and ESPN 3, Nick, PBS, TLC and Discovery.
