MediaMall launched the beta for PlayLater this week, the worlds first DVR for online video. The idea of a DVR for the internet sounds good, it got an accurate facilities description; pick a network (Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, etc.,), a show, and an episode, and PlayLater downloads your selection to your computers hard drive. PlayLater pulls down it wraps in a neat layer of DRM, locks that content to the PC that downloaded it. Time-shifting Hulu will costs $5 a month, beta teasers can score free month for trying it out.
