I would have to go back and do some fact checking but I believe they have a deal with Viacom for content, hopefully when they get out of beta there will actually be content that I would be interested in watching, until then I won't be using it much.

They need to get some of the more common content on there before it will be useful to me. I don't watch much TV, but there are a few shows that I like to see each week. Unless they start picking up some of those shows their service won't really be that appealing to me. @s: Thanks for handing out some invites! I'm sure those receiving them really appreciate it!

I agree that the current selection is limited and not that appealing. Hopefully this will change. I even tried it on my 57" TV on my HTPC last night and most of the shows looked very bad on that kind of setup. I finally received an invite and have been checking out the Joost offerings.

It would be really good in an airport or a hotel room, I agree. I have a three monitor setup, so I've been throwing it into the corner of one of the side monitors and letting it play while I work. I like that it has content from other than U.S. sources, but mostly it's just background noise. Haven't watched it on my HTPC yet. I think that would be the true test for me. As they get more content I think it will only get better. I just got my invite about a week ago and I’ve used it a few times. It would be really good in an airport or a hotel room, I agree.

I should give it another go since they have updated it again. There is a lack of content that I want to watch.
