How PlayOn Works

How does MediaMall Technologies’ PlayOn™ magically enable you to watch your favorite movies, TV shows and videos from the Internet on your TV? Well, we’re glad you asked!

In plain English, PlayOn runs on your Windows PC and gets your favorite content from Web sites such as Hulu, Nefflix, YouTube and more through your broadband Internet connection. The content is sent from your PC to your Wii^{In BETA}, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 or other device which is attached to your TV where you can watch and enjoy it on-demand.

In more technical terms, PlayOn software is a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) digital media server and Web browser that runs on your Windows PC and browses web pages from Internet content providers. PlayOn formats and forwards the display output on the fly to make sure that your DNLA-compliant networked media device can receive it over your home's wireless network and present it on your TV (on-demand). Whew!

Be sure to read the minimum system requirements for PlayOn to ensure your PC is compatible. Then download PlayOn’s 14-day free trial to start enjoying your favorite Internet and personal media content today so you can make sure everything works to your satisfaction.
