Anyone else using Playon! to stream Netflix on their PS3?

I just signed up for Netflix trial just so I could mess with streaming to my PS3 via Playon and while it does work, one thing that sucks is that I can't seem to find a way to just browse Netflix's catalog of available titles for streaming from the PS3.

I have to on a computer go and add whatever I want first and then I can stream it from the PS3.

Is there a tweak out there or something that allows for me to browse all their content from the PS3 directly?
 
Not through PlayOn, no. You could maybe use the PS3 browser to update your queue at Netflix.com, but the PlayOn interface will only list the items in your Watch Instantly Queue.
 
Seems kind of silly and pointless to use PlayOn to stream Netflix, since you get a faster stream by using the built in Netflix application.. oh, wait, nevermind, you're on that overpriced underselling piece of Sony trash, that explains it.

I use PlayOn for Hulu. It brought my need for Standard Def cable from 10% to 0.001%, and it's outright convenient. For Netflix the built in xBox app is better. Can't comment on the PS3, sorry.

No. You have to add stuff to your Watch Instantly queue. That's how it works with the 360/Roku box as well.

I never say this lightly, but I think it's appropriate here: you're an idiot.

It does for me. It lists all the shows available in alphabetical order.

Edit: NM, I kept thinking you were talking about Hulu for some reason.

What was that first paragraph other than an asinine comment about the PS3?

GTFO fanboy.



Also, wrong forum. 😛

seems kind of silly and pointless to waste your time here when you have no answer.
