Joost invites Infinite Broadcast

I don't need to say much about Joost, another masterpiece from the father of Skype.

It's claimed that you can watch TV anytime, anywhere. It's a new solution that combines the joy of watching TV with the interactive power of the Internet.

In fact, it's just watching TV through P2P, with some ads for profit. But I actually appreciate Joost quite a bit. First, unlike domestic ads (whether on the Web or on TV), where a 5-minute program is accompanied by 15 minutes of endless commercials, or online ads that are all over the place, disregarding the aesthetics of the page and filling every gap with layers upon layers of intrusive advertisements. Joost's ads last only one second.

Secondly, the picture quality is also perfect, smooth, fully reaching the quality of TV. Although my own connection speed is not very fast, using Joost has been quite smooth. As for Joost's rich channel offerings, you can check them out yourself on What’s On (note More channels...). There's MTV & National Geographic too~
