Do you use Netflix with PlayOn Cloud?
I'm thinking of signing up with Netflix, and I was just curious if anyone that uses PlayOn Cloud had tried it, or regularly uses it, with Netflix. I know the first month with Netflix is free and I c...
Thanks for the info. I actually decided to go ahead and try it shortly after starting this topic. After all, if it didn't work I could just cancel it, having not paid a penny.
It worked very well. I just wish there was more content that I want. I was under the impression that Netflix had pretty much everything. The first three things I searched for, which were films, they didn't carry. :(
I wish you could view what they carry before signing up, but they don't allow that. Trust me, I tried.
And here I go, burning through my data again. SMH. I should be able to make it through the rest of the month with this remaining data without issue, though.
I recorded and downloaded some stuff from HBO Go last week during the Bonus Zone, then today I recorded and downloaded Season 4 of Spartacus from Netflix with my Anytime data. I'll wait until next month to get the other three seasons of Spartacus, or at least the other two main ones. I might record and download Season 2 toward the end of this cycle if I still have enough data remaining, as it only had six episodes.
I will say, though, that for some reason, these recordings from Netflix look so much better than what I've gotten via HBO Go. I went in and changed Netflix's playback settings from Auto to High. I didn't want to take the chance that they could accidentally record in something lower, so I changed it to always being in HD. I don't know if that made any difference, as I know that PlayOn can only give 720 and not 1080, but it sure does look like 1080, so I'm a VERY happy camper. :) :) :)
Netflix stuff always looks better to me too (I also record from Hulu and from Prime).
You really need to manage your PlayOn addiction, mate. It's killing your data. ;)
