I beg to differ.
WHen I beta tested it the quality was very good. there were a lot of shows and i didn't mind the ads (except the volume got louder like a normal tv during them). I didn't have any problems with the system crashing and the response time was quite quick for p2p. I am personally amazed by the service and I think they need to set a limit on how many can access it so quality service can be had by all.

| False Alarm???
Just logged in to Joost.
There are stacks more channels available, have not finished adding them all.
I have noticed in the past that when they are about to add a few channels it gets a bit funky for a day or two...
Also, while it occassionally glitches, generally the video quality and resolution is far better than anuthing I have seen at Yahoo Launch, AOL or MSN video. |

Re: Maybe it's just me
The problem isn't legal issues (Joost is actually going by the book getting the rights to the content it shows), but more a question of demand/bandwidth constraints. As to the fact that the shows it is airing are all older, that is largely because the closer content is to current, the more likely the rights will be closely held by the content owner (especially content that can be sold into syndication and/or DVD) and the *less* likely that content will be permitted onto a free service like Joost. I have Joost! Friends Edition running on Windows Vista (and on older hardware to boot) and am having no problems other than the expected bandwidth issues. I can run it either full-screen or even in a window; as long as I have bandwidth, playback is clean as a whistle. (Considering I'm on the East Coast, and the US Joost server is in Los Angeles, that's darn good.) |
