Streaming question
I am just curious: I am thinking about cutting the cord on Dish Network in April. We upgraded to the 30 gig plan from the 20 gig on or around the 22nd and were now at 66%.. :( But, that ...
Yes on Linux
But I am talking about the PlayOn program thats only for windows or mac that makes it able to schedule a download time etc.
Though I've never used it, the app itself does have an option to schedule downloads during a set time. Granted, the app would have to be running at the time to achieve this.
I'm not really sure how it all works.

I am talking about this GabeU :
https: www playon tv/ cloud/ app/ downloader
Wouldn't I have to have this program on my computer to download the .mp4 files from the cloud? If so, I am SOL due to being a Linux user.

No. The downloader is only needed to schedule downloads so they happen automatically and during a specific time period, like if you wanted to download the items during the Bonus Zone period while you slept. You can also achieve this with the PlayOn Cloud app on a cell phone or tablet.
When a program is finished recording and being converted to an mp4 you get an email with a link so you can download it manually.
GabeU Remy Well it did it again yesterday... I got an email to download a tv show and it started to download.. then Firefox would say FAILED.... I tried again by hitting resume in the download manager window, it would try again and then FAIL....
Well in the top right corner of my Gnome 3 desktop the icon for network connection was transparent with like a ? mark over it... Nothing would load at all....
I unplugged the modem, waited 30 sec, and then plugged it back in, and only the power light, the WIFi, and Ethernet connection light came on... the 3 middle icons were off... I waited 2 min and unplugged the modem again and waited for 30 sec, plugged it back in and the modem started up like normal.
I am telling you SOMETHING ain't right....
But after that.. As you see... all is well until nexttime....
We went through that plan change from 20 gigs to 30 gigs in 9 days :(
But now that we're downloading during the free time, I shouldn't use up all of my daytime data as fast.. I HOPE....
That's definitely weird with the modem. I have no idea why it would do that, or why the download would stop like that, but maybe others do.
Keep in mind that, during the 2AM to 8AM Bonus Zone period, if you exhaust your Bonus data it will start drawing from your regular plan data. Not that you're necessarily going to use all 50GB, but I figured I'd mention it, just in case you end up downloading a lot.
