PlayOn Cloud
Has anyone used PlayOn Cloud? According to their site, it's "The mobile app that lets you record and download streaming shows and movies to watch offline."

I don't use it but there has been lengthy discussion on the "other guys" site about it. Seems it does work and they now let you schedule the time, have to be careful how you watch as it could actually double your data amount (or more) if watching from multiple devices.

Yep, Other Guys is where I learned about it. I thought that after downloading something, you could watch it offline, not using any more data, so thought it might be useful for those "but I can't streaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam" users. They could download during bonus time and watch at any other time. Edit: Since it seems to work for people using Other Guys (whose plans have lower speeds), I was wondering if anyone using HN had used it and if it worked for them.
I don't see a place to ask this question, but maybe someone would be kind enough to answer without complaining. Years ago we had HughesNet and it was possible to download a movie to the tv during the "free" hours (you could even schedule it) and then wacth it later. Is that still possible?
HughesNet no longer has the free download manager they used to offer. There are, however, a number of free download managers available, such as Free Download Manager. Whether they will work for what you want, though, I don't know.
For movies and TV shows from many of the most popular streaming platforms you may want to look into the PlayOn Cloud being discussed in this thread. It works quite well, and you can schedule the downloads to happen during the Bonus Zone.
If you have any questions about PlayOn Cloud, such as how to get started and/or how to use it, it would be best to start a new topic in "Third Party Products", which you can do here.
To ask a new question, go to the main page of the section (for example, https://community.hughesnet.com/t5/General-Discussion/bd-p/General) and click on the blue "Start a topic" button. It's best to add a question this way, as otherwise your question may not receive a response.
Are you asking about scheduling someting for download?
