And to other Macs and PC, tablets and smartphones, through wired or wireless or even mobile broadband connections. Get it right, if you are going to attempt to answer a question, you should probably be qualified, which you are obviously not.

The OP isn't interested in tablets and smartphones, I'm quite sure if he's interested in the app after hearing the description from a daily user, he can search for more info.

Exactly, I'd like to replace regular TV somehow with spending alot of money... I don't mind buying equipment to use in this endeavor if it will enable me to sit on me couch and channel surf just like I had cable or dish.

Just looking for a way to do this thru the net...

Are they live streams of the network channels (like cable tv)? Or are they just videos from those channels you can watch whenever?

I used it for college basketball (Go Kentucky Wildcats! :)) and it was live streams. Great HD quality, as well. But as I said, I haven't used it in over a year, since I got cable. They didn't have NFL, which is the sole reason why I got cable, otherwise I would have kept using PlayOn.

I think that an app that could connect to the video parts of those sites and play back the content would be awesome..

That's exactly what I was looking for.

Too many porn sites... it would be nice if they allowed you to delete certain stations and remove the ability to access them and only keep the stations you want.

I experimented with this program and I did not see any such option

Sorry, I didn't mean it as a "low blow".... I just wondered why you watched them last year on this service, but not this year.

I have no clue whether their season was good, or bad.

Oh, haha. Yeah, they are doing bad this year, I thought you were referencing that. My bad. :p

As I mentioned, I got cable for the start of the NFL season, since PlayOn didn't offer that service. Since I have cable now, I just watch the Wildcats play on cable TV as well, instead of on PlayOn.

    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By monterxz · Posted

      You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
