Simple question: Does A-100 work with PlayOn?

Simple question: Does A-100 work with PlayOn?
I tried it 6 months ago to make the A-100 work with PlayOn and gave up since it was too buggy and painful. Does the A-100 work nowadays with PlayOn?

I can't easily find an answer to this question from the forums.

Works but sometimes you have to try several times to bring up your queue. I would suggest that you have the queue up before the rest of your movie watchers gather - otherwise you might be embarrased by the many attempts you have to make to get to there..
Not perfect but this Netflix service is an incredible value and I hear trial users can get the playon software now for only $20!!

Works well on my A-110, not sure if there is a functional difference on A-100

Yes. It works. I use it everyday. I watch YouTube, Netflix and Hulu with it. I also use the OPLM plugin.

I've been using it since February and it works but not always without a reboot. However I have that problem with the PCH in general. I love what the PCH can do but I wish it was less susceptible to glitches.

I often have to reboot/restart the PCH or PlayOn and sometimes both but I've always gotten it to work. Yes thats a pain in the @ss. It's the reason I've gone to building a full HTPC now that I have a HDTV. I'm not sure if any one here ever tried a device called Play@TV. I have one of them gathering dust too. This time however I'm more likely to reconnect my PCH to one of my several analog TVs else where in the house. I'm sure it will be showing HULU and Netflix from time to time.

come to find out, PLAYON has been totally blocked from HULU.
yeah, you use to have to reboot the PCH after every program you watched. i was dealing with it. then it just quit. http://www.themediamall.com (i think is the playon link) people are upset. Hulu is doing everything they can to prevent these things from working.

RE: Simple question: Does A-100 work with PlayOn?
hmmmm, seems like i used it just a few days ago. Just another reason for going with a HTPC. I'll try again tonight.

.... and my findings are:I'm not having any luck with it either. What a shame, why do they block it? Maybe because when I view it from the PCH I'm not subjected to their sponsors?Huh

When I use PLAYON through my A100 I am only able to watch 1 "program". Then if I try to watch another I get "no media found." I must reboot after every "program." If I watch Playon through my DirecTV DVR's it works fine.
