Joost - Free Internet TV

I found a program the other day called Joost, which is actually pretty cool. It is a peer to peer internet TV that provides a lot of different shows, including a lot of stuff from MTV. I was really entertained by what all it could do and how cool the interface looked. You’ll need somewhat fast of an internet connection though, because it is totally frustrating on slower connections.

Here’s some screenshots I took of the program:

Unfortunately it is not live broadcasts, but you do get to see an entire show instead of half of it because you started watching it when it was half over. You can also fast forward, rewind, pause, or even go on to another episode of what you were watching.

The installer was a little over 11mb, so its not that big. And better yet, while your watching your favorite shows, you can chat with your friends from within the program.

And its free. You can get Joost here: Joost.com

Joost was a big disapointment, it wasn’t really tv as much as it was moderate quality videos delivered through p2p. I don’t have that kind of bandwidth to help share some smuzzy content so that NBC and friends can make a quick buck with their content off ads that get shown.
I’m using this service called freetube (http://www.freetube.us.tc) it’s closer to what I think Internet TV should be , check it out.
