Worldwide TV over the Internet | | |  |
|  | Worldwide TV over the Internet
I love Sci-Fi TV shows and anything that's got an interesting story line. At the moment I watch Battlestar Galactica, LOST, Stargate Atlantis and Heroes. I know that for Battlestar Galactica at least, if you live in the US then you can download the episode from the Internet after it has gone to air. Not so for Australians - and most other parts of the world. TV via the Internet scarcely exists. So I found this article on Tweaktown.com very interesting: "Joost (pronounced Juiced), a peer to peer (P2P) program for streaming video over the Internet, developed by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis, the guys who originally developed Skype. The development into an invitation only Beta has gone incredibly fast, as the real development of Joost only started last year. Some 150 people have been working on getting Joost to the stage it is today and it already works incredibly well. As a video on demand service it still lacks a few things, mostly a wider array of programs, as the content is quite limited, although it depends what you are looking for." I had a look at the Joost site and found that most of the channels are worldwide. The only catch at the moment is that it's in beta stage and you need to be invited into the program. I'd love an invite if anyone is already a member?! |
