Donâ€™t forget, Microsoft is a Joost advertiser. This is not a â€œJoost Killerâ€, it is hardly a rival. Iâ€™m happy that I use Ubuntu and donâ€™t have to put up with this garbage. Joost will soon be available for Linux, anyway.

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.

Doubt that, but that would be amazing.

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.

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:

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.
