    Stream Netflix and Hulu through your PS3 and 360

    Sorry. Looking again, I see your point. Is there a way to edit it? I don't see that option.

    Stream Netflix and Hulu through your PS3 and 360

    Sorry your having issues. It's working OK for me, but then I realized my PC is wired to my router. Here is the site's full explanation. "If your networked entertainment device (gaming console/set-top box) as well as your home PC are both on wireless 802.11g, you will have a throughput...

    Stream Netflix and Hulu through your PS3 and 360

    I posted about this beta program called Playon in August. They now have added the ability to watch Netflix through your PS3 or 360 (as well as already having Hulu, Youtube, CBS and some others). Once you download the program, simply input your Netflix logon into the settings and then add shows...

    Watch Hulu on your PS3!

    I'm honestly not too familiar with TVersity. Sorry for the noobish questions, but what can you do with it? I thought it was just another media server, ala Windows Media Player. Can you gain access to streaming sites such as Hulu using it? How about Netflix access?

    Watch Hulu on your PS3!

    10MB is more than fast enough. Have you done a speed test to verify you are getting what you pay for? Could be a CPU or memory issue. What specs does your laptop have? I haven't checked out the high def yet. Any good? I don't see those as being offered for streaming either.

    Watch Hulu on your PS3!

    Hi Zookster. The menu is typical PS3, the same as when you are browsing PC media. The Hulu folder expands to browse by genre, popular videos, highest rated, newly added and all TV shows (alphabetical listing). I don't see movies that Hulu offers, but compared with the site on the PC, it looks...

    Watch Hulu on your PS3!

    Hi all. I don't post much (more of a lurker), but this one is too good to not share. There's a new beta program out called Playon which allows streaming video such as Hulu and Youtube to be watched through your PS3. Netflix compatability is on the way also! :) There's also video from CNN, CBS...

    Wireless LAN Solution For VIP 622

    No, it does not. I didn't consider that when I ordered it (thanks for the heads up...just cancelled the order). The last firmware upgrade SMC has is from 2004. The spec sheet only lists WPA.

    622 external harddrive question

    I was considering picking up a 500GB Seagate FreeAgent on sale this week for use when Dish implements external recording this summer (hopefully :) ). Anyone have an opinion if any external would be compatable, or do you think Dish will limit compatability to certain brands/models? Thanks!

    522 Software L4.11 Issues?

    Balock, I have also had mine for two years. Like you, I also have been fortunate to have a pretty much trouble free piece of equipment. Occassionally I would get a drop out or a bit of stuttering during playback, but nothing close to what other folks were complaining about. The L2.98 software...

    522 Software L4.11 Issues?

    Balock - It's not just you. The same issues you described happened to me last night. I would skip ahead a few times, and either lockup or find myself back at the beginning of a show. Then I would have to fast forward in the new improved slow mo 300x speed. Talk about aggravating! It would...
