Turn up the Joost

Not nice, I bet your PC was quite stuck.
It is a beta version hence you are a beta tester. Do issue a bug report to them.

is it better then freeview ?? as i've got a £20 freeview box and have 70 channels to choose from but is the joost gonna be like everything else you have 70+ channels on but nothing to watch lol. The shows i enjoy watching i buy on DVD boxsets as its easier.


so Freeview vs Joost what do you recon ?

IMHO: Freeview, there's a better choice with the BBC stuff and from what I've seen, quality is about the same.

Hey, first post on this forum, read this article and I figured it warranted a response. I do agree that some of the content is lacking, I have to disagree about the lag issues. I know that I'm based in America, and that could have an impact on this, but I figured that the record should state where the lag occurs, and where is doesn't. Several friends from several parts of the US do not have lag, so that's the one point I have to disagree with on the article. Otherwise, great job!

Well, they have used a 1MB DSL connection. I never experienced lags with my 6MB connection either but using a 1MB connection for the review makes sense since it is what most of the people has world wide (In Italy most of the people are still using the cheap 640Kb connection)

holy sh*t.... 1Gb++ resource used?

wooo....... damn.

also, again, on the lag issue, none here. probably coz im in canada.

I've not seen any of the lag in the UK. Add the reviewer was getting some in the states. Regarding image quality, i've had it very good sometimes, and not so good other times. I guess its due to not putting the key frames on camera changes etc, or lousy encoder.... The bad quality hasn't been that bad though.

Can i please have an invite :D
