[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1636167, member: 110816"] Ken, Play-on is the streamer of the content to supported devices. This is similar to Apple's AirPlay technology but likely based more on DLNA..but don't worry about the details there..:) The pros of going down the play-on method is that you can expand the sites you get your content from by adding a plugin, while the con is that you have line up a series of digital ducks to all quack together.. Devices like the AppleTV get you access to a lot of similar sites and stream to your TV with the greatest of ease without any hard setup. The con of this or other smart device (TV or otherwise) approach is that you are stuck with whatever websites/content streams they support. Adding new ones means waiting for them to add it to the device.. However, I WOULD suggest that you check out [URL="http://www.apple.com/appletv/whats-on/"]What's on Apple TV[/URL] and compare that with what Play-on gets you in regards to the channels you are most interested in.
