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."

You're welcome, BirdDog.  Good to see it does work. I think it could be a useful tool for those who can't stream as they would like to.  While not a free option, it's not too expensive and it could save people a lot of frustration.

So last night I tested the auto download during Bonus time and it worked. Be sure to read the red note on the setting about leaving the app on and the device plugged in.

 

I did notice that my downloads are in SD using about 700MB per hour of video and I have the app set to SD, the lowest they allow set. This is in line with what Netflix states for SD.

 

What is of note is I have my Netflix account playback set to the lowest setting of 300MB per hour, so PlayOn Cloud somehow overrides this. Just something to be aware of, not sure how many use the lowest setting normally but I find the quality acceptable even when watching on large screen TV.
