PlayOn PlayLater {Review}
Are you tired of Cable, DirectTV, other TV services that can cost a fortune every month? PlayOn PlayLater might be just the answer for you! Both are subscription services that allow you to stream your favorite shows to your device so you can watch them when and where you want. I found this to be a wonderful alternative to cable or satellite services.
Let me tell you a little about the services:
PlayOn is both browser and media server for your Windows PC which lets you magically stream your favorite shows, movies, even your personal media files from your PC to your TV, smartphone or tablet. To display videos on your TV, PlayOn relies on a friend such as a game console like the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Wii, WiiU or another supported device like a Roku.
PlayLater is software for your PC that lets you record movies and TV shows to your hard drive from popular websites like Hulu, Netflix, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, Comedy Central and much more. Once the recordings are on your computer, you can watch them at any time on your computer, mobile device, or tablet, even when you don’t have an internet connection. PlayLater is the world’s first DVR for online videos.
As you can see both are pretty neat programs. Since I spend a great deal of time running around, I like that I can call up and watch my shows while waiting on the children or at an appointment. I really like being able to set the PlayLater to record my evening shows that happen to run at the same time as the shows my husband or children want to watch. No more having my show deleted because someone wanted to watch something else. This is a great alternative to cable service.
From CNET: If you’ve ever thought seriously about cutting the cable-TV cord and saving yourself a big chunk of change every month, you’ve probably looked at PlayOn, a PC-based media server that lets you stream tons of TV content to just about any home and mobile device. And if you love your Netflix and/or Hulu Plus subscriptions but don’t always have an Internet connection for streaming their content, you need to know about PlayLater, which turns your PC into a DVR that can record those and other sources for later viewing.
You can connect with PlayOn and PlayLater on their website, on Twitter and on Facebook in order to learn more about these subscriptions. For a limited time they are offering a combined Fall Bundle Sale on both programs. Still not sure? How about that the offer comes with a 30 Money Back Guarantee??? Try the program risk free for 30 days. You should be able to determine if this is something worth while within a month!
I would love to hear if you tried the program and what you thought of it. I am buying the lifetime membership for our house as a family Christmas gift. I may end up doing that for our adult children and their families. It sure would make shopping a breeze!

Both cool servives… but I prefer a program which is more or less a combination of both: Streaming AND Recording! Thus I use Audials Moviebox which can be considered as combination of the functions of PlayOn and PlayLater 😉
