    One other thing is that, if you'd like to schedule the file downloads, but you don't like the idea of leaving your PC on (I don't), or messing with trying to schedule the downloads to your PC, you can schedule the file download(s) to your Android or IOS device using the PlayOn Cloud app, then copy the files to your PC.  

     

    BTW, don't forget to change the resolution on the app if you want it to be better than standard.  I'm fine with standard, which is DVD quality, but some people want it to be better, regardless of the increased file size for the program/movie.  I believe 720p is the maximum resolution, but that's still very good.  

     

    If you try it and you like it, please let us know.  I'm still deciding whether to get it, though I probably will.  It's cheap, and lets you easily take advantage of the Bonus Zone data, and even those twenty days of data resets with your upgrade (make sure first, though, of course).  :)

I have the same problem with AOL and also Yahoo. Also a couple other sites. I finally  troubleshooted and found it was Hughesnet that was the issue. I could get the sites at work, at ISP's other than Hughesnet, and my Android. Very frustrating. Haven't found a solution.

You're piggybacking on an old thread that the mods ought to lock, since it's old and solved. If you have an issue you'd like to report or troubleshoot, you need to start a new topic. Go to Tech Support and click on "start a topic." 

 

Issues logging on to specific sites are known and engineers are working on it. See this response.
