According to the instructions, to watch the Comedy Central on a connected Xbox, simply turn it on and navigate to My Xbox->Videos->Computer.

With the Playon server installed and running you’re ready to access it using your various network connected devices. NOTE: It may be a good idea to download the DEMO and install it on your own computer to verify whether or not your own setup meets the requirements before purchasing a license. The system check tab lets you run some performance tests on your computer and Internet connection to see whether or not your server setup meets the requirements for Playon to work properly. This interface allows you to customize/enable available internet video content channels such as Netflix (account required) in addition to starting/stopping the service and some advanced settings for streaming existing content on your PC etc. Once the Playon server software was installed, double-clicking the program shortcut just yielded the server settings. I assumed I was good to go and pressed ahead with the installation. My Internet connection isn’t blazingly fast, but I’m supposed to have download speeds of up to 3mbps. It runs Windows XP, has a dual core 2.8GHz processor, 4Gigs of RAM, and is always turned on/connected to the Internet. The Playon server needs to be connected to a high speed internet connection.The Playon server should really be running all the time.Ideally you’d want to install Playon on a PC with a powerful multi core processor and lots of ram.Getting it to work as advertised, however, is slightly more complicated. Simply double-click the installer and follow the instructions – boom done. Setting up the Playon server software up is straight forward. I installed it on my HTPC last month and have been trying it on the Xbox, iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro with XBMC. Playon is software that runs on your PC and allows you to stream internet video content to your Xbox, PS3, Wii or mobile device (similar to tversity pro). I figured it was worth a shot and signed up. Around Christmas, had a special where you could get a year of Playon service for $19 bucks.
