“The new way of watching TV

All the things you love about TV, fused with the interactive power of the internet – just the way you want it. Enjoy the ride!”

The one thing YouTube has a problem is that it gets sued alot for all these content providers who have their content put on YouTube without proper compensation/permission. Well it looks like Joost figured it out - they stream content from the providers and interlace ads. Paid for channels, the equivalent of say HBO or Showtime on cable, don’t have the ads.

Being able to pick and choose exactly what you want seems to me to be a dream come true. No longer do you have to buy an entire channel or a package of channels to only get the couple of shows that you actually watch.

The only thing I’m worried about is that because we are able to choose specific content, alot of this ‘filler’ material will not be produced.
