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.

Downloaded it myself, pretty cool program, good variety. Not much in the range of anime and cartoons, hope they put up more! But there's lots of documentaries and stuff :) and they have an In Flames live show so it's good to me ^_^ haha

worth the download :) I like it a lot, I don't have cable so this is awesome :P

panchomancon: i was expecting this to be live tv, and not a bunch of recorded videos, which is not bad, but live tv would've been good.
Yea thats what I was expecting too, not pre recorded crap!

DRDNADID any one even read the privacy act on this>>>www.joost.com/privacy.html

I dont like it much..I am steering clear on this one:eek:
Looks worse than it is IMO.

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.

For those who may still use this , Joost has added a Cage Fight Channel to the lineup, for those who like to watch that sort of thing! I myself am watching fights now!

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.
