So honestly I'm not hurtin at all and I get also get free unlimited movies from NetFlix right now along with unlimited TV. All for free and all on PlayON(just an occasional glitch I'm learning to work around).
Soooo, I don't know why I'm beating this dead horse since everything is really good just as it is, at least on my A100...

You said "YouTube didn't work any more with the Syabas link so I fired up PlayON to Youtube".....how did you do this and I wonder if it would work on an 100?

*** Youtube support will be removed from our units in next FW upgrade due to official request from Youtube.

BBC iPlayer
PLEASE!

This youtube removal thing makes me a lot less keen to go ahead and buy the c200, but adding iPlayer would definitely swing the deal for me.

BBC iPlayer works only in the UK, you can hardly expect the overstretched Syabas developer team to try support something that will benefit only a small percentage of users.

Well I will say it's something we are "exploring", but resources are thin as of late, so it's not coming "soon".

Could someone explain to me what prevents end-users to install a link to Youtube identical to the one Syabas had installed? or to BBC iplayer for that fact?

PlayON is pay-once ($40 or lower in some cases) not a pay service. Then you get pretty much ALL web services. A cool new web site comes online, someone adds a plugin to PlayON, you get it (nice!). You can also use PlayON with Wii, XBOX and PS3.
This stuff with Syabas trying to negotiate and program for every new service is obviously not working IMHO. They need to negotiatiate with PlayON or similar(if they exist) so they can concentrate on what they do best (again IMHO)....
go to http://www.playon.tv for free trial and more info

Well there's a PlayON plugin for it: http://www.playonplugins.com
If you get a A100/110 (or nearly any other device) then you could access it.

Playon requires a Windows PC and that PC has to be on and running while watching stuff through it on the PCH, so for many people that defeats the purpose of the PCH, you might as well use a HTPC and save yourself the 40$ for Playon...

[haggisbingo]

Geez a lot of you guys are cheap - $40 bucks whoa yeah that's a lot of doh. You probably don't want to run a PC cuz it uses up a dime of electricity

Wrong, I don't have a Windows PC at all and they don't make a version for Linux or Mac.

[haggisbingo]

I believe they're working on or at least planning for a Linux version...

not according to what they say on their forum:

Quote:We realize that not having a Linux (or Mac) version for PlayOn is a show-stopper for some of our potential users. We're sorry that we don't have the resources at this time to port our product to other platforms.

No YouTube on my C-200, but still alive and kicking on the WDTV-Live.

Online video streaming has been interesting on the C-200; the buffer time is quit longer on the C-200 that the WDTV, regardless of channel. But connected to the same switch.
