For those of you who use PlayOn.Tv software, what can you tell me about watching Hulu etc on TV through your Wii?

Asked by DandyDear711 (1512points) October 29th, 2011

Is it worth the money? Problems with watching hulu? Laggy? Does it work well with comedy central? Anything else should I know?

Please make sure you’re not being mislead by this company. It doesn’t give you access to all those channels as though you were watching them on TV. It just provides a different interface to whatever videos those channels’ websites already make available on the Web, for free.

From what I can tell, you’d be better off just buying an HDMI cable and connecting your laptop to your TV.

I agree with @MrItty I currently link my macbook pro to my flatscreen with a HDMI cable and it works great that way.

Sounds like the HDMI cable is worth a try. $1.80 with free shipping on Amazon. Thanks @creative1 and @MrItty.
