A solution to watch movies on TV with no DVD or wifi needed

We just bought software from www.playon.tv which allows you to actually record streaming movies or TV from Amazon Prime, Hulu, Netflix and many other stations. I transferred the movies to a USB flash drive and can watch them on our TV which has a USB port. You can also transfer them to a newer iPod touch and connect to TV with appropriate composite cable. It works great and we are thrilled! Cost very little, easy to copy and their customer support is awesome. They helped me every step of the way. The only thing you need is fast internet...I load them up at work, pause recording then remotely access my work computer from home at night and tape on work's high speed broadband connection. Too slow at home on our DSL. Good luck if you try it!

    Someone's gotta do it or there would be no policy to make. :W

    Looks like a good way to do time-shifted viewing of the content you get from netflix, etc. I can see how this would be useful for life on the road!

    Thanks for the tip!

    One question: I read the website and it says this is to record from TV. Have you only recorded from from TV, or could one record shows received on Hi-Speed Internet on ones PC?

    Re the comment by one poster -- the OP is not pirating, as they are recording shows they have paid for access to, in order to watch later. Neither did the OP state they were sharing said recordings online. So OP is merely personally consuming product they personally paid for, at a later time. Do those channels like it? No, but they are not being defrauded.
