I am using PlayOn. works nicely. I just need to figure out the playlist thing on the hopper menu. How to use this alludes me
Although it's not free I am also using PlayON media server. As for the playlist Friend nailed it. It's just a feature that lets you queue up a series of videos for continuous play. Like I used PlayOn to get aquainted with Awake a few weeks ago and I added all five episodes to the playlist and then while on the playlist screen i selected the option to play to end and had myself an Awake mini marathon.
One thing I like with PlayON media server, I add the ability to stream from NBC, CBS, FOX, ABC on Demand, Hulu/Hulu+, NetFlix, Pandora, HBO Go (I know HBO Go has more content than HBO On Demand on cable not really sure how Dishes HBO On Demand content stacks up with HBO Go), TV.com, Crackle, ESPN3, plus about a dozen other channels. Then you have 3rd party plugins/scripts made by the Playon community,(G4, History.com, FearNet, etc.)
One thing, if possible, that I hope dish network fixes is that when you press Guide or Menu that it doesn't kick you out of the video you're watching via the media server.
*PS3Media Server gets an honorable mention because it's free.
