Joost Internet TV Service Launched
Created by the founders of Skype and Kazaa, a free internet TV service known as Joost has just been launched after first being announced nine months ago. Joost allows users to choose from a selection of different shows and channels on their PCs, which are supported by advertising in similar to normal way TV commercials. In a blog, Joost said:

For us at Joost, we are exhausted, but excited. Many of us have put as much as two years of our lives into this little 'project,' and owe a great deal to our families for supporting us, to our friends for not ignoring us, and to all the beta testers who cheered us on and helped with ideas, feedback and lots of bug reporting.Joost 1.0, which can be downloaded here for both Windows and Mac, is still in the beta stages, but from a quick look it seems fairly stable and is worth a try if you want to watch TV on your PC but don't have the necessary hardware.

lil unstable at times, but there's alot of shows on it, it's got teenage mutant ninja turtles :P
I dont like it much..I am steering clear on this one:eek:
All that will happen is that they can tell if you're reading their emails by whether you click on different links, they'll monitor which pages on their site that you view and they remember which channels you have watched... plenty of other sites and applications will do similar things.
Edit: looks like they dont have it all together yet....watched 2 fights then a pause (clicked forward alot) as it looks through files to get me the next fight. Looks to be alot of amature bouts.
