so i was getting into the "internet-tv" thing this weekend again since it was a while that i used joost. i installed the latest beta version and also installed miro.
but both are just not very satisfying and here's why:
joost:
- still buggy as hell after such a long development period and beta versions.
- not enough shows updates. most of the channels still have the same shows/ episodes from a half a year ago when i last checked. this is just not really "tv". if they have so many ads interfering with your experience, why can't they update the episodes more often? so that we get the latest episodes (that you can buy for 1.99 on itunes) in joost. thus i wouldn't mind the ads if i could avoid spending the 1.99.
miro:
- it's basically a hub for podcasts. i can do pretty much the same within itunes, so i'm not sure yet how this app is of advance. maybe for some people who like to just store all their video-casts in miro instead itunes?
- as mentioned above it doesn't have real tv shows that come from regular tv channels.

what do you think about all of this?
