The last time I tried it, it used 100% of my cpu. Browsing on a second monitor was very slow with joost running. |

Re: Not impressed
I use it, and it's great. Watched all the Lexx episodes. Connects quick, no jitter. I only have a 1.4ghz celeron, and 1 gig ram, and 8mb integrated (shared memory) video, and it runs full screen even when putting it on a external monitor while browsing on my laptop screen.
The only thing I do not like, is the little nags.
It poped up a nag to give feedback, so I clicked it, but nothing happened. Nag went away though, 1 minute later, nag is back again. Kept doing that until I closed and re-opened the program, which, now it's doing it with the US Army advertisments.

Re: cpu overusage
I run it on my 2.0 ghz core duo with 1gig memory and it runs full screen perfectly without cpu overuse or much memory use. I run it from my laptop to a 22inch HD LCD. |

Re: Still beta...
I'm not giving them crap because they are in beta...I just don't get the concept.
The "new" content isn't that compelling...and I don't need to pay yet another monthly subscription for "regular" tv content. I'd rather sling my regular cable/satellite that I'm already paying for to my computer. |

Nepean, ON | Useless outside the US..
Only thing is like every other video content service, it's useless outside of the US. Except National Geographic there's hardly any good content on Joost in Canada. |

Re: Useless outside the US..
Sorry, I tried Joost about 4 months ago. It uses 100% of my Fios connection, and is only better than YouTube in resolution.
I can only appreciate that major cable networks are contributing content to them.
If they become an E-Porno network, they are done for, as far as I am concerned. Let em' burn in Hell.

Re: Not impressed
Funny you say that, because the founder just mentioned in an interview that porn PPV is coming. |
