Cancel Your Cable, Watch TV on PLAYSTATION 3, Xbox 360, or HP MediaSmart TV

Hello Friends,

Yesterday I was just browsing the net and see what I found! A cool new Software provided by MediaMall "PlayOn", to watch TV on your gaming consoles and other devices no need of Cable :)

If you have a PLAYSTATION 3, Xbox 360, or HP MediaSmart TV, PlayOn lets you watch Netflix, Hulu, CBS, YouTube, CNN, ESPN and more on your TV. PlayOn is software you need to install on your Windows PC. The download is a fully functional trial and is free to use for 14 days, but once it expires, you'll have to purchase a license to continue using it. Download it here!

How it Works

MediaMall's PlayOn software is a UPnP (Universal plug-n-Play) digital media server and browser that pulls RSS feeds from content providers, and presents them to DLNA-compliant networked media devices. In plain English, this means you can use your game console or networked television to access content from providers like YouTube, Netflix and Hulu. The PC software pulls in the media streams, in the same way as your web browser, and then sends them directly over your home network to your device, even converting their formats on the fly to make sure the devices can play them. Simple as that.

(Digital Living Network Alliance is a standard used by manufacturers of consumer electronics to allow entertainment devices within the home to share their content with each other across a home network.)

PlayOn leverages the existing browser and UPnP functions of game consoles and networked televisions, and uses the PC in the middle to bring in the content from the Web, passing it over your home network to the device.


The Minimum System Requirements for the PlayOn PC software

• Microsoft Windows XP (Service Pack 2 or later), Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2003/Windows Home Server (Service Pack 1 or later). 64-bit versions of Windows are also supported
• Windows Internet Explorer 6
  
• Windows Media Player 11.0
  
• Pentium 4, 3.2+ GHz
• 512 MB RAM
• 100 MB of available disk space for installation
  
• Internet broadband connection of at least 1.5

After the trial period you will have to purchase a license, it's a one-time $39.99 payment, and will enable unlimited access to all of the services available through PlayOn.

So, enjoy new experience of watching TV.
