Just got my invite........It's super cool.....what does everyone think? I think that, especially with the new content just added, this could be a formidable opponent to the Slingbox

Pretty cool idea but there's nothing that I watch. The big content providers aren't going to give them anything any good. Kind of like Vongo, old movies and most of them not very good ones..

Slinging Tivo HD, Tivo S2, and OTA from a Pro HD, Tivo HD from a Pro, Tivo HD from a Solo, and Humax DRT800 from a Classic to iPhone, Dell Inspiron 1520 with Sprint EVDO, and a SlingCatcher over Mi-Connection cable with 2Mbps upload.

I've been playing with the beta (sorry, I don't have any invites) - and I'm completely unimpressed. I get regular errors - videos unavailable. When something does play, the quality is poor. And the selection is weak in the first place. I find the interface to be showy - more flash and functional. The interface I could live with if it worked reliably and there was anything worth watching, but as it stands now, I don't see myself keeping it on my machines, and I don't see it as competition for anything, let alone Slingbox. Especially since I don't want to watch content on my PC in the first place - that's why I have an HDTV! They're providing sub-SD content, on a PC, just as HD is taking over. Whoopee. If I'm away from home I'd rather use my Slingbox and stream content off my TiVos than use Joost. I get better content and a better picture.

I'm a Joost beta tester too. It works better than some of the others I've tryed and if the content improves at/after launch I will keep it around. I don't have Terra through my cable provider and I enjoy watching it. Much of the current content is junk. Its an alternative if my Slingbox is already in use by another family member. When I have a feed fail often going back and reselecting it will start the program again.

 

No invites left here either...sorry.
