Joost - Free TV on your computer - 03-12-08

Finally, a LEGAL way.

Joost - Free online TV - Comedy, cartoons, sports, music and more - Download today

so, what is it?

well, it's a program that you download, get a username for, and choose and watch shows, for free!

there's more than 20,000 shows on there, all put up legally.

Joost contracts with show makers, who put their episodes/shows on there.

The problem with tv shows on the internet, is people get to watch them for free. Sure that's okay for people who make their own shows, but what about people like the BBC or NBC or Aardman or Adult Swim who spend thousands or millions even making shows and series? well, they gotta get their money back somehow or they will just go out of business. Through Joost advertising and suchlike, the company gets paid for their shows being on Joost, and you don't have to pay for watching them. Bonus! everyones happy

even Endemol (big brother etc) have signed up to have their shows on there.

all you gotta do, is watch a small commercial before the show, some shows you don't have to. plus, every advert is related to the program you want to watch, or others you have watched, or ones it'll reccomend to you. while watching the adult swim channel their adverts were just the shorts before the shows that they have on adult swim. which are great and worth seeing anyway

troma are on there. aardman animations are on there. adult swim are. alliance atlantis, even happy tree friends. loads of flash animation companies from the net plus of course, because it's streamed tv, you can pause, fast forward, rewind and everything.

works in window mode, or fullscreen, has in built widgets like channel chat where you can talk with people watching the same shows or suchlike, and other funky things. the menu system is great and i'm guessing it's quite ipod video / iphone inspired. works very well.

it wants a minimum of 512mb ram, but i really think it needs at least 1gig, and the other system resources limits are good and not too high, it works well.

here's some stuff from their site about it - -

Check out channels on Joost

So many choices, so little time. Use the Explore section to find channels, shows or videos. You can browse by category or check out what's new and popular. If you need instant gratification, use the search bar to find what you want.



Use the controller

Remember the days of fighting for control of the remote control? Those days are over. Now you're always in control. Switch shows, jump forward or find something new. It's on your demand ... well, and your fingertips.



Watch Joost in window mode

Does size matter? Debatable. Take Joost. Full-screen video, just like you want it. Unless you have to work. So make Joost smaller, drag it to a corner, do your work AND be entertained. Right click to keep Joost on top.



Invite your friends to Joost

Did anyone ever tell you it's better to give than to receive? Uh huh. Not sure we buy that either, but when we're not buying anything, hey, we'll give it away too. So invite your friends. It's easy, it's free, and hey, it might make you feel good.



Create your own channel

You wanted to be a GM of a baseball team, and they gave you fantasy baseball. Same for football. Call Joost fantasy network executive. Choose what you want to watch, program your own channel, and watch it when you want to.



Share Joost with a friend

Did you see that? Right there. Fast forward. No, no, rewind. Right. There.

End the frustration. Share channels, shows or exact moments with friends through Joost Links. Now everyone will know what you're talking about.



Blog while watching Joost

Sometimes it's good to multitask. Like when you've just chomped down on a burger and someone asks you a question you don't want to answer. Or when you're watching a show on Joost and you want to write about it on your blog.
