PlayOn launches on Wii U

PlayOn is a streaming service that lets you stream all sorts of TV channels to your devices. PlayOn is now available on the Wii U and lets you stream 45 Internet channels to your console, including HBO, MTV, CNN, NBC etc. PlayOn costs $39.99 — and that’s a lifetime license. Just check out the chart below to see how many channels and how much more content you get from PlayOn compared to what’s on the Wii U already. It looks to be a great alternative while we’re waiting for NintendoTVii. Getting the service to work on the Wii U is a bit tricky, since it’s not a standalone Wii U app. You can follow the instructions here on how to get it to work.
