One annoyance of Google TV has always been the lack of video streaming apps for the platform. PlayOn has arrived for Google TV to help, allowing users to stream Hulu, ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, Comedy Central, MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, and more than 50 other channels to the set-top box.
For a long time PlayOn has offered a way to stream content from your computer to devices that didn’t support it, including Netflix before it was officially available for Android. PlayOn streams video content though a home network, so a server application needs to be installed on your PC in addition to the PlayOn app on the device being streamed to.
Normally, PlayOn costs $25 per year or $50 for a lifetime license, but for a limited time, PlayOn is free for Google TV, so go and get it now. More information on PlayOn and the official press release can be found after the break.

Business Wire
SEATTLE — May 9, 2013 – PlayOn, the media server software from MediaMall Technologies that streams online videos to TVs and mobile devices, today announced that PlayOn will be free for Google TV users for a limited amount of time. PlayOn brings online content from Hulu, Hulu Plus, ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox to Google TV, channels that are otherwise inaccessible on Google TV. With PlayOn, Google TV users can also stream online content from more than 60 channels like Discovery, Comedy Central and ESPN as well as personal media files.
“For more than two years, Google TV users have been blocked from watching their favorite shows and movies from Hulu and the major networks,” said Jeff Lawrence, CEO Media Mall Technologies. “PlayOn for Google TV effectively removes this barrier and opens up a lot of new content to cable cord-cutters. We feel using PlayOn with Google TV is a no-brainer, and we want to give users the opportunity to see why with our free PlayOn offer.”
