Anyone on Joost
 
Anyone played with Joost yet?

http://www.joost.com/

In the very near future, thanks to the guys who developed Kazaa and Skype, there will be no cable any longer, as all of the television shows will be available on the internet.

If anyone on the PPOT has an invite left, would love to try one.

nota 05-08-2007 04:28 PM

just got on it
if I can figure out the invite process

need a full name and e-mail address
pm me

Joeaksa 05-08-2007 08:06 PM

PM sent! Thanks!

RickM 05-08-2007 08:17 PM

Would love to check it out as well. Any invite offer would be very appreciated. Thanks.

Joeaksa 05-08-2007 08:33 PM

Rick,

Anyone who travels would really appreciate this.

I use slingbox now and view TV from overseas but Joost makes it even better.

Matt Holcomb 05-08-2007 11:37 PM

Would love to have a play if someone's willing to invite me.

stomachmonkey 05-09-2007 05:14 AM

OK,

So let's make a deal.

Anyone that gets an account has to share.

You get 3 invites.

Use 2 to invite Pelicans and the 3rd to invite yourself at a secondary email address so you get 3 new invites.

What do you think?

Joeaksa 05-09-2007 06:34 AM

Works very, very nice. The videos on the Top Gear are excellent. Watching a 911 video right now...

SM,

After our discussion recently might you accept a referral from a PC user? :)

Howard Agency 05-09-2007 08:45 AM

Hey buddy, can you spare an invite?

stomachmonkey 05-09-2007 09:21 AM

Joe,,

I'd gladly accept. Then I'll invite Rick and Matt. One of them can take care of Howard.

scott@stomachmonkeys.com

Much appreciated,
Scott

kstar 05-09-2007 10:37 AM

Can you guys include me?

I will in turn make available invites for other Pelicans.

kurt at starnes dot com

My name is the same as the email address - first name is before "at" and last name is after the "at".

Thanks!

Best,

Kurt

Looks like the sites that call the service a scam all have an alternative they are hawking.

RickM 05-09-2007 10:47 AM

Sounds like a plan. Thanks guys.
I'll share in turn.

Joe, I've turned a few friends onto Slingbox. I agree, this is much more portable.

cowtown 05-09-2007 10:49 AM

I'd like to try it too if anyone can spare an invitation.

There was a big writeup in Wired two months ago about the technology. Fascinating stuff. They've come up with a way around having to install infinite bandwidth for servers if they take over the world (unlike YouTube/Google). Like next-generation Torrents.

Seahawk 05-09-2007 01:35 PM

I'm in Japan for a week and would LOVE to try this...morganps@hughes.net
Thanks!

stevepaa 05-09-2007 01:48 PM

Add me , thanks. stevepaa@aol.com

Joeaksa 05-09-2007 03:13 PM

Ok,

Stomach monkey and Sea Hawk (sorry, am partial to my flying buddies) please email me your full name (first and last, they require it) and whatever email address you want to use with Joost. Will invite the two of you guys then you can help the others.

Joe A

Seahawk 05-09-2007 03:24 PM

PM sent...Thanks, Joe!

Joeaksa 05-09-2007 04:15 PM

Having troubles connection to Joost.com. Am at a hotel so it may be the hotels internet connection or Joost.com, not sure.

Will get SH online when I can. Still do not have SM's name and cannot do it without that.

Zeke 05-09-2007 04:54 PM

Is this a pyramid?

johndglynn 05-09-2007 05:15 PM

Would love a shot at this - happy to share the love if someone can get me in.

edit: done!

stomachmonkey 05-09-2007 05:36 PM

Joe, sent PM.

:)

kstar 05-09-2007 06:15 PM

Guys, whenever you get some invites, send me one and I can create several new invites for Pelicans via many email addresses I have.

kurt at starnes dot com - name same as email address.

Thanks,

Kurt

onlycafe 05-09-2007 06:17 PM

thanks.

This sounds like fun. Count me in, and I will share the wealth.

Joeaksa 05-09-2007 06:21 PM

Nota,

Are you able to get on Joost TV? Still having problems getting the server to shake hands, while my slingbox is working fine, so my HS internet connection is working fine.

Just curious as the Joost blog is showing that others are having issues getting connected as well.

joe

stomachmonkey 05-09-2007 06:42 PM

Joe is going to hook me up then I'll get the next two guys on the list. They'll get the next 4. Then we'll get 8, 16, 32 etc... Should be PLENTY to go around in very short order.

Just make sure you post who you are inviting before you do it so we don't double invite.

onlycafe 05-09-2007 07:25 PM

and they told two friends, and then they told two friends.........

911 in SC 05-09-2007 07:38 PM

I'd appreciate an invite too. I've been doing way too much traveling lately and could use it! Thanks!

Last name is Rollins.

e-mail is miatainsc@gmail.com First name in the sig.

Thanks again!

Joeaksa 05-10-2007 05:43 AM

Ok, Joost.com is back up and working this morning.

They posted a notice that so many people are signing up that the servers got overloaded.

SeaHawk and Stomachmonkey have now been invited.

Spread it around!

Joe A

Joeaksa 05-10-2007 05:51 AM

One more thing. Once you two get signed up on Joost, then you log onto the system.

For some reason it keeps asking for my name, email and birthday. Could be a beta issue (all of this is "beta" now) but we are in on the early stage which is good.

To invite a new guest, get logged in and on the first window you will get a set of icons. One on the right side says "My Joost" and click on that and it will pop up a new window asking if you want to invite someone. You provide a first and last name, and email then click "invite" and you are done.

Takes a bit of looking for to find but easy afterward you do it once. Also it did not say that I had a 3 person limit but did not want to invite three people then find out that I am out as I want to save one "invite" for a friend.

Have fun...

stomachmonkey 05-10-2007 05:55 AM

Thanks Joe,

I'm in.

RIck and Matt. I'll send you guys invites.

PM me 1st name, last name and email address that you want to receive invite at.

Scott

stomachmonkey 05-10-2007 06:02 AM

Hey this is pretty friggin cool. Picture is pretty damn good even on my 17 inch laptop. Streams fine over wireless.

Cool stuff.

Joeaksa 05-10-2007 07:16 AM

Scott,

This is the way of the future. Thats why I really wanted to get in on it now.

Some limitations guys. It will work ONLY on Windows XP with the service pack 2, or Mac computers. Will not work on W2000 or earlier OS's. Nothing out for Linux yet but it will happen.

Agree and the quality is very good on my laptop screen, almost HD quality.

For those of us who travel, this is a God-send, being able to get our television anywhere in the world, anytime.

Have you seen the auto stuff and the 911 clips yet? Very nice videos...

Joe

stomachmonkey 05-10-2007 08:07 AM

I'm in the office now running on a 22 in Flat and it still looks good. May plug into my 67 in at home tonight just to see.

I have an HD tuner for my laptop for travel but it's spotty reception. Works great when it works but does not always work. This is better.

I was pleased to see the Mac client;)

This may be yet another reason for me to get an iTV.

Rick,

Check your mail. Invite sent.

Scott

kstar 05-10-2007 09:03 AM

Hey guys,

let me know when you can invite me - not sure where I am in the pecking order. I will quickly register and redistribute several invites via multiple email accounts I have!

kurt at starnes dot com - name same as email address.

Thanks!

Kurt

Seahawk 05-10-2007 01:15 PM

Howard and Kust, if you are both still interested, I'll invite you...please PM with Full name and email.

regards.

johndglynn 05-10-2007 01:23 PM

Excellent work guys, I am on the verge of buying a 24" Mac so this could be just the ticket!

911 in SC 05-10-2007 01:30 PM

I still need an invite. Anyone?? :(

stomachmonkey 05-10-2007 06:08 PM

RIck V and Matt are taken care of.

Scott
