No idea why. Perhaps because I wasn't positive enough in my review? ;) I’m sorry, but when I launch Joost on my PC, it tells me that I don’t have any invites to send out. No idea why.

I found one or two things that I thought I might want to watch, but the quality was poor and just not worth it with so many other sources of better video. I haven’t been very impressed with Joost.

The idea is ofcourse very nice, but so far, the quality is sub par. Also the programs offered aren't very interesting yet. Of the entire list of channels only 2 or 3 looked remotely interesting.

As I say in the blogpost, there are audio problems in the download version of the episode. The YouTube version is ok, because it is in mono.

Didn't know it only worked on a MAC. Was actually hoping for an invitation as I have no TV at this time. Not sure if anyone else had this problem, but the sound for this one came only out of my left speaker. Thanks for the info. Didn’t know it only worked on a MAC.

On my iMac (highest spec 24") it's so slow it's almost unusable! Like when I want to change channels the guide is really difficult to bring up and then when I click a button it takes a couple of seconds to respond. I agree about the quality but what do you expect for a free program that basically gives you free cable programming. It’s betatastic too!

I was totally bummed out. Your so-so review of it makes me feel a little bit better. Thanks.
