In 2008 it became apparent to PlayOn CEO, Jeff Lawrence, that people were huddling around a little computer screen to stream their favorite content. This didn’t make much sense to Jeff, so he created PlayOn which was originally desktop software that would allow you to open a browser and select an option to send your content directly to your TV screen. As content streaming trends have evolved, so have PlayOn’s products – Their cloud-based app that will work on your computer, smart phone, tablet, or smart TV making it possible for users to download their favorite shows directly to their device of choice.

With the PlayOn app it’s simple to download your favorite content and hold on to it for as long as you like. Jeff Lawrence, CEO of PlayOn, tells us that when you sign up for the program you get two free downloads, and for any future content you can expect to pay anywhere from 20-40 cents per download – So affordable!
