Does anyone have any experience with Playon Tv

---

I bought it about 15 minutes ago. I won't be using the DVR feature at all, but I can now use my HTPC as a particularly functional streaming device without the use of a keyboard- I have it set to where I access it through KODI so that essentially all the major (legal) streaming content I have paid access to can be had through a simple interface that even a fool could use. It's pretty functional, but the setup does require a little bit of time (you have to log in to EACH streaming service you want to use, which is a process I'm not quite through with yet).

But Amazon Prime and Netflix works/looks great through it.


ETA: It's apparently not without flaw. You can fastforward, but it doesn't seem to re-buffer when you attempt to skip ahead, so it seems as if skipping to the halfway mark of a TV show/movie you're in the middle of watching wouldn't be possible unless you had previously paused it there. This is a new-user's observation though, there may be an explanation somewhere on the web. I haven't really looked, but this is at least a concern.
