same. Loved Playon.
Only issue i had is that my comp ran off on wireless. The bandwidth was killing my experience.
So instead I just hooked up an old laptop to my tv. ^^

PlayOn is great for Streaming HULU, Youtube, etc.. For Netflix, i dont know if its better to stream it from disc (PS3) and using it as a media server.. works ok.. video is choppy :(

I love this app! I use it both on my 360 and PS3 all the time.

The third party plug-ins offer some real nice variety for content. Using Tubecore you can also access all the PlayOn features via Windows Media Center as well.

We don't get Hulu in Canada. :(

But we do get TV shows and some movies streamed through channel providers via their websites which isn't that bad, just a hassle to get running, find your shows, etc.

I've never setup a server or anything, I always go half way with Windows Media Center on 360, never get around to plugins and the like! :P

I actually hate them now. Since they once Flash got updated and the console become more popular, Hulu blocked it.

I've been using PlayOn with my PS3 and 360 since the original beta started and I've really been pleased with it overall. I pretty much only use it for Hulu, which may end soon as Hulu has expressed desires to start charging for their service.

Though its probably not as well known as it should be, this is still old news.

Can't get Hulu outside the US and from all the servers I tried I stick with [Java PS3 media server]. Reads my .CR2's and everything else I need for free.

Who cares anymore... btw if you got a mac and a wii or ps3 the best option i have found is wii transfer. It streams itunes and iphoto with ease. But annoyingly only streams video at 20fps.. still it is worth it for the itunes and iphoto alone.
