    Stream Netflix and Hulu Videos With PlayOn

    PlayOn -- Your Internet Video to TV Solution

    A couple of weeks ago, my DVR decided not to record one of my shows (I refuse to admit user error…ok, it was user error). Since Jack Bauer on my 15.1″ screen just isn’t the same, I booted up the PS3 with the hopes of pulling up Hulu on the PlayStation browser. Apparently I’ve been under a rock.

    Back in November, Netflix brought streaming video to the PS3 making it the only Netflix-friendly device that allows for gaming, streaming video on demand, and Blu-Ray capability. But the ability to stream Hulu to my HDTV from my PS3 all of a sudden became more important.

    Then I found PlayOn — developed by MediaMall Technologies — which allows you to watch all your favorite, shows, movies and sports with a networked PC and a Wii, PS3, XBOX 360, or other compliant device.

    Streaming Netflix VOD On Sony PS3 Game Consoles

    October 26th, 2009 - No Comments » - Filled in: Gadgets & Technology, TV & Movie

    It slices! It dices! It plays DVDs & Blu-Ray discs! It streams TV shows & movies from Netflix! Beginning in November, you can add Sony PS3 to the list of devices that jive with the Netflix Video On Demand (VOD) service. However, it’s the only one that allows for gaming, streaming VOD and Blu-Ray capability. The service is available to Netflix members at no additional cost to the monthly fee of $8.99 (more information on Netflix membership).

    Streaming Netflix VOD on Sony PS3 Game Consoles

    Initially, watching movies instantly streamed from Netflix via the PS3 system will be enabled by a free, instant streaming Blu-ray disc that is being made available to all Netflix members. The free instant streaming disc leverages Blu-ray’s BD-Live™ technology to access the Internet and activate the Netflix user interface on the PS3 system, which must be online via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

    Netflix members simply slide the disc into their PS3 systems to reveal movies and TV episodes that can be watched instantly. These titles are conveniently organized into a variety of categories based on members’ personal preferences, popular genres, new arrivals and members’ individual instant Queues. Members can use the Netflix Web site or navigate directly on their PS3 systems to add movies and TV shows to their Queues. They also have the ability to read synopses and rate movies. In addition, they have the option of fast-forwarding and rewinding the video stream via the Wireless Controller.

    Netflix VOD service is also compatible with the XBOX 360, the Roku HD player, one of a few LG Blu-ray Disc Players (including the BD 370 or BD 390, several Samsung Blu-Ray Disc Players (including the BD-P2500, BD-P3600 and BD-P4600) and internet-connected HD TVs from LG (with NetCast Broadband).

    Adrian Peterson NFL Fantasy Commercial

    ETRADE Mobile pro Baby

    The NFL Network always has a little fun with the “Fantasy Files” commercials as the season nears. Most feature a player’s strength with some far-fetched footage (my favorite this year is the Andre Johnson commercial). But when I saw the following Adrian Peterson plug, I “Whoa”d like the ETRADE baby. AP looks ready.

    Devin Hester ‘Mission’ Under Armour Commercial

    July 19th, 2009 - No Comments » - Filled in: Sports, TV & Movie

    Due to not caring about a DVR scheduling conflict, I missed this year’s ESPYs. But I kept hearing about a great commercial with Devin Hester and Deion Sanders called “Mission” that made its debut during ESPN’s award show. Nothing special about the usual suspects that star in the commercial, but the point of view and edit are particularly clever. It also includes tweets from Devin Hester. UA sorta missed the true essence of the viral-ness by opting to use a fake handle instead of Hester’s real Twitter handle, @D_Hest23.

    Anyway, if you can’t tell by my last couple of posts, I’m so ready for football season. This is a good warmup.

    Justin Timberlake Hosts SNL. He’s a Mother Lover!

    May 10th, 2009 - No Comments » - Filled in: TV & Movie, Videos

    With Justin Timberlake making unforgettable Alec Baldwin-esque appearances on Saturday Night Live, my expectations were high for a homerun performance. He and Andy Samberg were back for a follow-up music video to Dick In A Box…just in time for Mother’s Day. It’s not the uncensored version, but you get the idea.

    Susan Boyle Is Not Delusional

    April 15th, 2009 - No Comments » - Filled in: TV & Movie, Videos

    If you’re fixed on American Idol this season, then you haven’t been keeping up with Britain’s Got Talent. The show that brought the world’s attention to Paul Potts, has brought attention to another astonishing performance.

    When Susan Boyle walked out on the stage, she proclaimed that she wanted to achieve similar success to that of Elaine Paige. At the end of her performance, I expected her to drop the mic where she stood, and walk off the stage. Well…one out of two ain’t bad.

    See the video for yourself.
