There’s a wealth of high-def video available on the web these days. There are big content houses like Hulu, CBS and Comedy Central that have popular movies and TV shows. Netflix streams movies at really high quality and even sites like Vimeo and YouTube have tons of HD videos you can watch.
If you want to watch this stuff on your full size HDTV instead of your laptop’s 13- or 14-inch screen, you’re going to need a way to hook your computer up to your TV.
If you have an Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii or DLNA-compatible device, you can go online to http://www.playon.tv and download PlayOn’s software to your Windows PC which is automatically detected by your networked gaming console. This lets you instantly enjoy Hulu, YouTube, Netflix, Amazon VOD, CNN, ESPN, personal media (photos, music and videos) on your livingroom TV and entertainment system instead of crouched over your computer. Best of all, there’s no new hardware to buy or messy cables to connect.
You can add additional channels by clicking on the Plugins tab at www.PlayOn.TV, inlcuding Podcasts, NASCAR, SyFy, PGA Tour, Revision 3, Spike TV, Nickelodeon, Food Network, Cartoon Network, and more. If you bring your laptop with PlayOn when you visit friends or family who have a networked console, then you can tap into their wireless network and enjoy your channels and content on their TV or entertainment system.
