Will TV be Juiced by Joost?

Yes. The new era has begun. Era of streaming videos has given an opportunity to the Internet to give a new value to the Internet. We have seen a well grown Streaming videos like Youtube, Google Videos, Daily motion, iFilm, Blip.tv... etc.,

You can find most of these videos web-sites hosts TV shows from almost all the channels, almost in all the languages. So Joost era has begun in order to provide streaming TV shows for free with Internet features. see what Joost says about?

You get great internet features too, such as search, chat and instant messaging, built right into the program - so you find shows quickly and talk to your friends while you watch. And with no schedules to worry about, you can watch whatever you want, whenever you like - as often as you want. Joost is completely free, and works with most modern PCs and Intel Mac-based computers with a broadband connection. Get Joost today!

See Instant messaging, TV shows,..oh..no. It is very good in everything. Ok what could be the common problems occur in the countries like mine(India).

In India, we watch only filtered version of channels, we filter out all the Adult channels and none of English movies channel can show adult content in the movie... either it is blurred out or something like that... most violent channels not allowed...and many more restrictions in channels in India.

If Joost comes in i don't think India is equipped to protect these channels to filter out the channels. Sometime back as everybody knows in URLs blocked in India, instead of 10 blogs Indian Govt. blocked blogger.com itself. It was the funniest event ever happened. After a long battle by bloggers the ban was lifted.

I'm just looking forward when Joost like Internet TVs comes in what can Indian Govt. do?
Does it block Internet TVs too?

Let us wait and see!!!

I have heard mixed comments about Joost but I am yet to try it out.
I was under the understanding that they would not be hosting adult channels and channels are dependent on which country you are viewing from anyway.
I would be interested in an invite if you have any spare.
Thanks G
