I'd be interested to see how it squares up to the current IPtv stuff i use to watch Formula 1 and other tv like tvants and TVU and viidoo.

So if anyone is on Joost and has a spare invite *cough* *cough* ...

JTL

Have you managed to get on yet???

Can I grovel for an invite as well?:o

I spent ages trying to find a way of getting an invite after I read your thread and had a look at Joost.
I've been trying all the blogs & forums, but it seems as if the invites are being snapped up as soon as they are posted. You have to time it to perfection!:(

I registered for the Joost newsletter thingo & I thought that may be a cunning way in but I've heard nothing from them since...

So can I PM you my e-mail address?...:)

As soon as it's says I have one it's being stingy so far. Not sure if I'm spending too much time on here instead of it...:D .

I just found this on the skype forum

http://forum.skype.com/lofiversion/i...hp/t74832.html


i too have 0 tokens, but it appears (from joost forums) you only get tokens to invite people randomly. so yes patience is necessary
So its not really anything to do with how long you use it, just a random thing.

So is Joost any good then? I signed up for the beta a while back but the client kept crashing my machine so I took it back off. Maybe it's more stable now?

Just answered my own question by downloading the latest beta and watching it crap out before it even starts :rolleyes:

It worked OK on ours but did say RAM was an issue and I was slightly under it's recommended but no problems so far.

I've got well over the recommendations in terms of RAM and CPU. it just doesn't want to work - on my PC or my laptop. Shonky product if you ask me :p

I had a look at the Joost forums and lots of people are having the same issue but rather than investigate, the developers are just sitting back and blaming Dell. Neither of my PCs is a Dell :confused:

Mmm it even works on my sons slower PC, wonder what's up. Just wish we could get those online American channels they are hogging to themselves over there...:curse: .

Well your invitation is sent, as it's new it seems to be still having some errors and hicups but worth seeing what happens in the long run as they expand what you can see and iron out the faults.

Good luck and hope your coughs better.

Same issue. Got a very uptodate PC with 4Gb of RAM in it... craps out just after loading.

It seems to be having a nervous breakdown at present and throwing out errors on things it used to let you watch keep getting #121 errors. Think they've cocked it up at Joosts end as everyone suddenly seems to be getting them.
