Hey, finally got my invite to Joost after a couple months on the waiting list. Gotta say I love it. I just got Sky Digital installed at home today so I've got more choices than ever before.
How's everyone else finding Joost?

Ive used it acouple of times now.
My problem is that some programmes will play fine for twenty seconds or so, then it will need to buffer again and then start playing for another 20s, very annoying! I need to look into it more when i get time, aparrently this can be casued by A/V softeware and firewalls.
Otherwise I agree with Freitasm that the channels can get very boring very quickly.

Errr... I am running Joost for a while on Windows Vista. That "fix" is useless. First because the "file conflict" is very specific to each configuration, and didn't work for me before.
I've noticed that when Internet Explorer is running Joost won't start. If Internet Explorer is not running, Joost will start one out of five attempts. So you double-click the icon to start, receive an error dialog, click OK, double-click again, and so on. After three to five attempts it will run.

Interesting. I think you are right, they don't really seem to give a toss about Vista which is curious to say they least. A friend of mine used the fix to get Joost working on Vista so I'm surprised that it didn't work for you. Joost also works fine for me with IE running - perhaps I've got a later build or something?
bradstewart:
Theres only one build of the final version of Vista. It doesn't work for me either

Err, I was referring to Joost, not Vista! :-)
bradstewart: LOL my bad. Well I have the latest build of Joost.
