i think joost is has forgotten about the normal user on the internet.anyone with less then 1mb of ram forget this software, dont be arsed even downloading it your cpu wont handle it on 512 and if it does you cant run alot more and boy will you know its running.if you wanted only tv then why not just turn on the tv , what does it offer that isnt on the internet already? NOTHING!! the likes of sopcast tvu tvants already give free tv that will run on your pc without bogging down your pc.ive tried this software and its shite, and once its no longer beta watch the blogs and the comments about joost then lol this software is a joke.

it sucks, doesn’t even support NAT, and their docs don’t tell you which ports to open up, huge pain in the ass, better just make your computer a DMZ.. quality is bad compared to HDTV on UseNet!

I found the design to be quite nice and very simple to navigate, but as others have already pointed out the content is seriously lacking. 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.

Joost- oh yeah, I registered and then found out it doesn’t support Mac OS X on PPC G4’s or G5’s-nothing to see here- move along.

I'm not happy with the selection of the channels at all. Maybe if they added real channels like CNN, ABC, NBC, Fox, ESPN, etc... then it would be a better service.

I completely agree with you Max. 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!
