Streaming Video
I’ve spent the past week researching my options for TV without a subscription. Since I cancelled my Dish Network subscription, I’ve looked into FTA (Free To Air) satellite systems, and streaming video on the web. My plan is to build a multimedia system with a digital projector, in which I can watch TV shows and play DVD’s on a large High Definition screen, with surround sound.
Today I received an email from Joost for their beta program. I think I have found my first choice for streaming video. This program is absolutely perfect!
Joost provides a simple 1-click installation, and prompts you to create an account. After installation, the program reequires no setup. Your streaming video is ready to watch, fullscreen, right out of the box. There are hundreds of high quality shows available at your fingertips, and you can watch them anytime you want.
This is the wave of the future. With streaming broadcasts from networks like CBS, NBC, and ABC, satellite and cable television will be obsolete. If you’d like to eliminate your monthly subscription to cable or satellite, I recommend taking a look at Joost.
