Confession - I am addicted to television - I am going through rehab!

While I do have a TV, I have not subscribed to cable over the last 4 years (well off and on I had basic cable). While signing in for rehab they never mentioned the use of internet as a restriction. It had worked well!

Until Nihar (one on the scooter), showed me ‘Joost‘, after searching online I finally figured out how to get an invitation!

What is Joost?

It is what Web2.0 was set to define - a web platform for your online application - to watch TV - for free!

What channels can you surf?

National Geographic
MTV
Comedy central
These are the channels that got my attention, but they have a growing list of channels that you can tune in!

Who controls the remote?

One who gets to control the mouse.

How much?

Free is the keyword! No paying $40/month to Time warner! 12months and you can buy yourself a 42″ LCD from the money you save, hook it to your laptop using a VGA cable and experience the TV in high-def

Do you have invites?

Sure, leave your email address

Is Joost the only online TV network?

Well, not really but Joost is the only one I have used, there are more online - Beware! some have legal issues.

Is this the future of television? Well, who knows! It sure looks great from here :)
