What is PlayOn?
PlayOn provides innovative DVR solutions for streaming video content, offering two main products: PlayOn Cloud and PlayOn Home. PlayOn Cloud is a cloud-based service that allows users to record streaming videos without requiring a PC or Mac, featuring full HD 1080p recordings, closed captioning support, and the ability to skip ads on commercial-supported shows. Recordings can be downloaded from anywhere and never expire, making them ideal for offline viewing and casting to TVs.
PlayOn Home is a PC-based application that turns a computer into a powerful DVR for streaming video, supporting recording from multiple streaming sites. It includes features like recording entire seasons with one click, automatically recording new episodes, and downloading recordings to a computer. Both products support over 15 channels, including major streaming platforms, and offer flexible pricing plans to suit different user needs.
