PlayOn has just come out with a new beta program that will work for your PS3 and Xbox 360. The beta allows you to stream and watch internet TV sites, which includes, Hulu, CBS, YouTube, ESPN and more. They’ll even be supporting Netflix in the near future. (great news for PS3 owners.)

All you need is a network that connects your console to your Windows PC (sorry Mac owners), and you can watch movies & TV shows right after you Download the program. There is a catch however, the first 60 days are free, but than after that it’ll set you back $30. Read the instructions after the break.

1. Sign up (http://www.themediamall.com/signupforplayonbeta/) to become an official Beta tester.

2. Download and install PlayOn on your Windows XP or Vista PC (you will be instructed how to download after signing up for the Beta testing).

3. Turn on your home-networked game console and find the PlayOn Media Server.*

4. Watch Hulu and YouTube on your TV!

5. Check out the User Guide (http://www.themediamall.com/playon) for further assistance.

* On the PS3, the PlayOn Server can be found under the XrossMediaBar > “Video”. Make sure “Media Server Connection” is enabled under Settings > Network Settings. On the Xbox 360, PlayOn is displayed under the Dashboard > “Media” Blade > “Videos” Category. You may have to select “Change Video Source” if you were previously connected to a different server.

It seems pretty simple, I would think this is more beneficial for PS3 owners, mainly becasue the 360 will already have Netflix support down the road.

We have corrected the bug that was causing some challenges and are ready for you to give PlayOn a shot (or another shot as the case may be). PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN THEIR ENTIRETY.



IF YOU HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED A VERSION OF PLAYON:
1. Uninstall your current version of PlayOn.
2. Reboot your PC.
3. Download the latest PlayOn installation from http://www.themediamall.com/playonbeta2008

IF YOU HAVE NOT YET INSTALLED A VERSION OF PLAYON:

1. Make sure your device has the latest firmware update.

PLAYSTATION 3: www.us.playstation.com/ps3/about/systemupdate/system_update.html
Xbox 360: www.xbox.com/en-us/support/systemuse/xbox360/console/systemupdates.htm
HP MediaSmart TV: Settings > Software (or Firmware) Update



2. IMPORTANT: Make sure your home network is set up so that you are using the same router for your PlayOn PC and the media device.

3. Download and install PlayOn to your PC by visiting http://www.themediamall.com/playonbeta2008.

4. Locate the PlayOn server on your device.

PLAYSTATION 3: Each content site has their own link and icon. Each of these icons can be found under XrossMediaBar > "Video". Note that the PlayOn icons may appear under "Pictures" and "Music", but they will only work if you are under the "Video" category. Make sure "Media Server Connection" is enabled under Settings > Network Settings.

Xbox 360: PlayOn is displayed under the Dashboard > "Media" Blade > "Videos" Category. You may have to select "Change Video Source" if you were previously connected to a different server.

HP MediaSmart TV: You can find the PlayOn server by pressing the "Media" button on your remote control and selecting "Servers" from the main digital media menu. On older models, select "Settings" and then "Media Servers".

5. Navigate with your controller to the show you'd like to watch. To watch episodes of "House" from Hulu, for example, select PlayOn Hulu > All Shows > H > House.

TIPS:

1. Playing any piece of online media will take up to 10 seconds to start, depending on your network connection. You will only see a blank screen while the media starts loading -- so be patient!

2. To watch specific videos on YouTube, you will need to open the PlayOn Settings Manager: On your PC, go to Start > All Programs > PlayOn > Settings Manager. You can enter any YouTube usernames you'd like to "subscribe" to. For each username you enter, you will be able to see all the videos that are published or in the favorites for that user's account. So, to watch your own favorite vidoes, make sure you have a YouTube account, mark videos online as favorites, and then put your YouTube username in Settings Manager.

3. For complete instructions, please read the simple User Guide, which can be found on your PC at Start > All Programs > PlayOn > User Guide.

We hope you enjoy PlayOn and welcome your feedback to beta@themediamall.com.

PlayOn!

The PlayOn Team
