Watch TV on the internet

Ever since the internet caught popular imagination, users have been waiting for the day when television content would come streaming in onto our PCs. Joost has finally done it. Download it, and start watching -- it's as simple as that.

Choose your channels from a selection of music, sports, travel, adventure, wildlife, sci-fi, animation and more from some of the world's best-known TV channels. This list is being expanded all the time (it's a bit limited to make everyone happy at the moment). It lets you watch any programme whenever you want and interactive features make it even more fun. Unlike YouTube you cannot share content though. Also, as with regular TV, you will have to grit your teeth and sit through the ads.

The catch -- yes, there is a catch -- is it's by invitation currently. So you will need to find someone who has a spare invite, or apply to be invited on the site. Invites are usually with users who already have Joost -- find a friend or search the web for those advertising spare invites. You will need to set aside 500 MB of disk space for it though, a bit for the software and the rest for buffering content.
