Connection Problems- Only with AOL
The problem started a week to 10 days ago. I can not connect to AOL via my hughes Gen5 connection. We both use aol mail (yes, I know there are better options, and I may look into that, but when you...
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'm a big fan of PlayOn Cloud. I just recorded 2 seasons of a show (16 episodes total), all in HD. Set it to record, checked the next day and it was all done (without using my data), then downloaded the episodes (NOT during regular data times, or it would've eaten gigs and gigs), and now I have the files and can watch them and rewatch them whenever. No buffering, excellent picture. The cost for all 16 episodes? $3.20.

Wow, you guys have finally convinced me! Just in time for the last season of Game of Thrones, and I've got 18 days to learn how to use it.
Please use the app, not the desktop version, as the latter uses data. With the app, I think you get 5 free recording credits, which you may want to use to practice how this works. You need to have accounts with the places you record from. I have accounts with Netflix, Hulu, and Prime. The app will have you login to your account, and then you can set it to record.
