Version: Joost 1.0 beta
"Interesting player but needs work."
Pros: Joost has a big variety of channels such as featured, my channels, whats new, whats popular, comedy, documentry, drama, entertainment, film, life style, music, news, sports, a to z and more.
Some shows are long and some shows are short clips, and this player can be put into full screen size. The best way to navigate to the channel list is to click on explore.
Cons: What I dont like is I had to create an account just to use this player, and it needs a stop button on the player. And the video quality is not very good on some channels.

Version: Joost 1.0 beta
"The Best Free internet TV site"
Pros: After testing various TV software and visiting loads of sites. most of them offer a free trial or preview and then they make you pay to sign up, or are cluttered with ads. I think that is ridiculous... so ive done my research and have found a couple of really decent sites. The first one Id like to draw your tention to is (viewmy.tv) This site has almost 1300 channels from around the globe and counting. it is free to register and they dont ask for stupid details, just your username and email address. It actually streams live channels so you dont have to download any and they have a pretty easy way of finding the channel you want. You can search through genre, country, region or name of the channel. oh and there are no ads either. Check this one out. With over 1300 channels from hundreds of countries, loads of features like channel rating, user recommendations, live chat, profile pages and much much more.

Version: Joost 1.0 beta
Pros: Internet TV has so much potential, this program is a step in the right direction.
Cons: No easy way to turn "On at startup" off. Menus are difficult to navigate. Icon system annoying. Needs to be able to be displayed more compact with more information on the screen. UI needs alot of work.

Version: Joost 1.0 beta
Pros: Looks nice. Lots of TV shows and stuff.
Cons: Doesn't work on my desktop at all. Just gives a message saying it can't continue. No error code or anything, not even a log file to help diagnose the problem or to report it. It is obviously still in early Beta if not alpha stage. Don't think you can watch any of the shows off line or pre-download them so you can watch them later without worrying about net congestion (or a slow network).
