I have a PC at work, but that's a pain.
Anyone know if I can play my downloads on a Mac if I make the download on my PC?

PlayOn FAQ...

PlayOn records videos to your PC's hard drive and the recordings are in mp4 format. That means you can watch those recordings anytime anywhere. Want to transfer a recording to a mobile device to take with you? Check. Want to stream a recording to your TV? No problem! The PlayOn DVR is all about flexibility. Recordings stay on your hard drive until you delete them. You can transfer recordings to a device for offline playback or stream over your home network. It's DVR untethered.

PlayOn streams and records in a maximum HD resolution of 720p depending on the quality of the source video and the speed of your CPU.
Once you've recorded a show/movie/whatever, MP4 is a pretty universal video file format, so you can easily transfer it to your Mac. Or transfer to portable devices without the need for the PlayOn app (not sure why its not available in US App store).
