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."

The great thing about PlayOn Cloud is that there is no buffering when watching it, as you download the file and watch it, not the stream. I've been contemplating getting this so I can stream things to the cloud using their mobile app, then download them to my laptop and play them on my TV via HDMI cable. And again, no buffering!
It would be a great way to take full advantage of the Bonus Zone data.
I got both PlayOn for PC and PlayOn Cloud. PO Cloud works better for me. The thing seems to work like a DVR for the cloud.
They have a reasonably priced monthly plan of 4.99 a month, which holds 200 hours of recordings in the cloud -- not clear if this is per month or what. They also have credit packages for those who don't want a monthly plan. I tried the system with the 4-recording package, which cost me 1.99. I don't plan to get a monthly membership, as I don't record much stuff at all so I will use it infrequently.
The files play back fine with no buffering (I connect my laptop to the TV via HDMI cable and it plays perfectly). This could potentially be very useful for those who have issues with buffering when streaming.
