Have you ever wished you could DVR online video streaming like you can television content? If so, PlayLater has got your back. The new service allows you to record streams from online channels such as Netflix and Hulu and watch them at your leisure.

The service is currently available on PCs only, and can be had for $4.95 a month, $39.99 a year or a $79.99 one-time fee. PlayLater is targeted at those with limited internet connections such as business travelers and commuters.

Recorded online content is only playable through the original PC or networked device, but plans are in the works to facilitate migrations to other devices such as iPhones and iPads.

According to PlayLater CEO Jeff Lawrence:

“[It’s] the online DVR for the future . . . Anything you can watch on the Web with a browser you can now record and play later . . . It’s pretty much anything you can watch on the Web, video-wise . . . We hope it will become a household name like TiVo.

There are several “what if’s” surrounding this service. Will enough consumers see PlayLater as something worth spending money on when online streaming is already “on demand?” Also, will online streamers such as Netflix be ok with PlayLater users recording content?

Let us know what you think about this new service in the comments, and whether you think you would be interested in trying it out.

    Why not just get a free video capture program and run the hulu content overnight or something and then it will be saved to the computer

    Netflix is going to smack this done really quickly. If not, then the studios will be right behind them.

    ^ agreed. This is the type of thing that laws are written for. The problem is that if this is allowed then it basically destroys the rental process. All rentals now will become ownership with this.

    I thought the point of Netflix was to watch it when ever I wanted. Why do I need to record it if I can watch it when I want anyway?

    Can you say copyright laws?

    I seriously believe that this will not be available for long. Netflix and HULU will not be happy with this when they both have online streaming.

    I think this would be a good option for those that do not have a good internet connection always available. If you recorded it on a laptop and then went to an area without internet access – then you could watch the program. However, I think the rental sites Netflix and studios would prevent this from done.

    The benefit of this service is that it will solve the streaming/buffering problems some people have. Record the movies from any provider and watch them from your harddrive. I use a product called “Splashtop remote”. It lets me connect to my home computer and use it like it was my mobile device. I can run any application from my HP Touchpad or phone. This will come in handy with Play Later

    I really, really would like this. I have streaming/buffering problems that this would solve. But yes, I see legal issues even with time shifting and a copy only for personal use. It is a little like taking a VCR and recording a broadcast tv show (remember that?) but not quite.
