I would like to use the http://www.playon.tv/content-channels service as a channel instead of cable \ satellite and watch it as a channel from my Mythbox.

Supported plateforms (clicke here) include DLNA compliant platforms. Not sure if LinHES fits this description. I'm not sure what the simplest way to use my Mythbox for this purpose.

Any constructive suggestions are appreciated.

Short answer: install XBMC

Long answer: (how I re-invented the wheel getting that answer)
First a point of aggravation They use the word "magical" 3 times in their FAQ video the site talks down to it's users and their goal must be to hit up grandma with their overly friendly attitude. They are computers there is nothing magical about them.
Second doing a google search I found their FAQ

So you have to leave your windows PC running (not a big deal) and it pokes holes in your router to let it'self through. Since you can access it over 3G with your phone it exposes your network to the World Wide Web and all the nasty hackers out there.
It must stream the videos in and transcode them for the network so you will need a beefy Windows PC to do the job.
I believe what you need is a DLNA player or client, looking online there are two Linux DLNA clients out there XBMC (somewhat supported by LinHES) and Enna http://enna.geexbox.org/ (no idea)
Since they don't stream HD you could also buy the $59 Roku and just use that.

this should help with the setup of Playon on XBMC.

BTW this looks interesting I don't think I have enough horsepower to pull it off but I'm gonna try.

I was hoping to avoid adding another box, however, it seems that the Roku is the easiest and offers portability. Thanks.

Although I have XBMC on a Raspberry PI, I would still need PC to act as a server on my LAN for downloaded content.

I was hoping that I could avoid buying more hardware and add a package from the LH repository to stream it straight into the LH box.

Just for the record It works beautifully. My LinHES box doesn't have enough horsepower to stream all those flash web pages but using XBMC it was smooth as silk.
BTW XBMC installs as easy as
that's it.
And I love the new XBMC I tried it a couple of years ago and wasn't impressed. It sure is beautiful. I wish MythTV worked that smoothly.
