Joost Beta Testing

I have just started beta testing what is bound to be the ‘next best thing’

Joost is an internet television service. Their blurb is below

Joost™ is a new way to watch TV, free of the schedules and restrictions that come with traditional television. Combining the best of TV with the best of the internet, Joost™ gives you more control and freedom than ever before - control over what you watch, and freedom to watch it whenever you like. We’re providing a platform for the best television content on the planet - a platform that will bring you the biggest and best shows from the TV studios, as well as the specialist programs created by professionals and enthusiasts. It’s all overlaid with a raft of nifty features that help you find the shows you love, watch and chat with friends, and even create your own TV channels.

From what little I have seen so far looks good, not great just yet - but good.

The picture can be a little blocky, and can stutter a little, but this is a bea test after all.

The interface is lovely, just moving the mouse to the edge of the picture brings up options, TV controls, select channels - and add to favourites and loads more options.

Give it a year and watch out for the affiliate program!
