At some point we're going to stop calling all of these internet TV platforms "IPTV" and just start calling them TV. Of course, one of the main differences between live TV and Joost is that Joost isn't well... live. But it looks like that could change early next year. PaidContent:UK reports that Joost will start offering live streaming television programs to US customers during the first quarter ...

Defying all conventional logic, Joost has upgraded its internet TV client to version 1.0 -- and it's still in beta. That means you can only download Joost 1.0 if you're a current beta tester, or if you know someone kind enough to send you an invitation. There are a few new features and performance tweaks in Joost 1.0 beta, including a modified user interface, larger icons, and the ability to ...

Besides pumpkin pie and homecoming, the MLB playoffs are one of the best things about autumn. Indeed, when your home team was picked by Vegas to win the division at the outset of the season and they actually do it, the Major League playoffs are even sweeter than pumpkin pie. Enter the Cleveland Indians. Of course, if you're trying to save money like some Clevelanders we know, you may not want to ...

Get ready for the newest widget platform on the market, Joost. They have just rolled out their API and opened things up for developers to make masterpieces that integrate with the P2P TV client application. The launch of Joost's latest version 0.12.0 is a little overshadowed by the API introduction, which is the icing on Joost's cake. The somewhat hush hush announcement in the product forums of ...

Sure, the whole idea behind internet television platform Joost is that there's a better way to watch internet video than using a web browser. But developer Paul Yanez tells NewTeeVee he was frustrated that every time Joost issued a new beta release he had to download a new application. So he built a Flash-based Joost clone that runs inside of a web browser. He can push out any updates he likes ...

Joost co-founder Niklas Zennström says more than a million people have signed up to beta test Joost. The service from the makers of Skype and Kazaa is still invitation only, but a few months ago Joost removed restrictions on how many invitations users could send out. Of course, having 1 million registered users doesn't mean there are that many people using the P2P video application on a daily ...

It's funny watching companies come out of the woodwork to take on internet TV platform Joost. It's not even clear if there's a market for full-screen video players yet, but nobody wants to let Joost become the next YouTube without getting in on the action. Blinkx is the latest online video site to announce a full-screen video player, no web browser required. BetaNews gota sneak peak at Blinkx's ...

At this point, television networks have made some prime time content available for free online. We're not talking about $1.99 downloads from iTunes. We're talking free streaming episodes from networks like ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, and the CW. But you can usually find just few episodes of a few programs. Mashable has put together a list of 33 services that provide online access to TV programs in one ...

Right now, most people want to watch TV on the TV. And as we've described before, getting Joost to work with your TV set involves several (kind of) complicated steps, like making sure you have a video card with TV-out, a computer close to your television, and the time and energy to figure out how to program a computer remote control to flip channels on Joost without a keyboard and mouse. So it's ...

Want the time-wasting ability of Joost, but don't want to go through the trouble of downloading a program to watch your internet television? Chime.TV is a flash-based website that lets you create or watch channels of short videos from sites including Blip TV, Break.com, Daily Motion, Google Video, MetaCafe, MySpace, Veoh, & YouTube. Nothing to special about that. Chime.TV is hardly the first ...

Now that internet TV platform Joost is actually signing deals to get content you might actually want to watch from CBS, MTV, Comedy Central and other networks, you might be wondering how to watch Joost on your TV set. While Joost really does make watching online videos a bit more like watching TV and a bit less like surfing the web, you still pretty much need to use a keyboard to navigate. And ...

Joost seems to be at the forefront of an explosion into public realm care of one of the worlds top ad locations, IndyCar. What does this mean? Is Joost really ready to go mainstream? If anything they just stepped up their marketing efforts this past weekend with a 7th place finish. Joost -- the so-far leading IPtv application -- is getting pretty big in the "tech" world, with thousands of users ...

Okay, we're getting about as tired of writing Joost news as you are of reading it. But this is kind of big. The internet television platform started by Skype founders Janus Friis and Niklas Zennström has raised $45 million in capital. Sequoia Capital, Index Ventures, Li K-shing, and CBS have all put some money in, although that's not a comprehensive list. So far, Joost had been funded ...

Internet television platform Joost is inching closer to a public release. While we might have been expecting version 1.0 to follow a series of 0.9 releases, Joost surprised us with a 0.10.2 "Now For Friends" edition. Last week Joost announced current users could invite an unlimited number of friends to join the closed beta. In practical terms, that meant giving all users 999 invitations. The ...

Warner Brothers has announced plans to bring programming from WBTV: SCI-FI FLIX and WBTV: Before They Were Mega Stars exclusively to Joost. Both new Warner Brothers themed channels are expected to launch later this month. The SCI-FI FLIX channel is expected to feature shows like Babylon 5, Max Headroom, My Favorite Martian, and Adventures of Briscoe County. The Before They Were Mega Stars channel ...
