Years ago when I bought a lifetime PlayOn, there were few options.
Playon downsides are 1) it records in real time - so a TV show is 20 minutes long, it will take 20 minutes to grab/capture, 2) it puts an intro and outro on every video announcing PlayOn and your IP address, 3) they add a bunch of junky channels in the channel search
I just (within the past month) tried two other programs: Kigo and StreamFab
Kigo worked ok sometimes, but froze quite a bit
StreamFab is what I use now. It downloads fast - so a couple of minutes for a 20 minutes episode. It goes so fast, that you end up downloading beyond the limit on services like Amazon and HBO. But StreamFab keeps those episodes in queue. So I just come back the next day and click Start All. If my limit period has passed they start, otherwise I get the warning message, and start again.
PlayOn is vastly inferior these days. Even Kigo with its penchant to freeze still downloads faster than "watching".
