    yeah, i knew about this, there wasa hint of it in mix, and in some demos of silverlight. is the obvious route.. and considering the quality of the experience, i can say that his is WAY better than everything else..

    This is very exciting. I've been waiting for this technology for years - ever since I decided it was too much trouble to install the TV tuner software on my desktop computer back in college. I can't wait to see it in action.

    Wow, if it's "live" it's definitely a killer. Now they just need good content. Like the saying goes "content is king" :)

    I agree. This is far more compelling to me than Joost. I hope they'll let you watch TV from anywhere in the world, and not filter by location.

    Doubt that, but that would be amazing.

    As per Jaap's comment above, this is being brought to market by Skinkers, a UK-based company (the guy doing the demo in the video is Matteo Berlucchi, who's the CEO of Skinkers).

    You can find out more about their relationship with Microsoft (it's basically a technology licensing deal, with a bit of equity involved, that allows them to use Microsoft peer-to-peer IP developed in the Microsoft R&D facility) here:

    I got let into the Beta today, and have published a hands-on review. It's a nice app, but as ever, it will come down to content -- which at the moment is non-existent.
  • What is Joost? · 2 years ago
    Don’t forget, Microsoft is a Joost advertiser. This is not a “Joost Killer”, it is hardly a rival. I’m happy that I use Ubuntu and don’t have to put up with this garbage. Joost will soon be available for Linux, anyway.
