Channel 4 shows on Joost

7 November 2008 Rob Buckley 2 Comments



Just a little note that Joost, those exciting Internet TV people, now have the first two series of Peep Show, as well as a few other Channel 4 shows like Shameless.

The good things about this is:

  1. It’s completely free, unlike iTunes or DVDs
  2. You don’t need to install any software any more, since it runs in any browser than can play Flash video

Basically, all you need is a broadband connection and a web browser. Yey.

PS When did they change the theme tune on Peep Show or is is a licensing problem that stops them from using the proper tune?

New stuff on Joost

12 September 2007 Rob Buckley 3 Comments

Must be some an odd coincidence or something. Just as I finally scribbled something about Joost yesterday, I get an email today telling me about new channels on the aforementioned Internet TV software.

Paramount UK (sorry US readers) now “offers over 30 full-length classic films. Sci-fi’s served up with Star Trek IX: Insurrection. There’s timeless sophistication with Breakfast at Tiffany’s; and tension and thrills with Patriot Games, The Hunt for Red October and Fatal Attraction.” Might I also recommend Shane, The Parallax View and Chinatown?

And Alliance Atlantis now has “Lexx, Total Recall and Earth: Final Conflict”. Incidentally, that’s the rather good Blade Runner-esque Total Recall 2070, not the Arnie movie – which I always liked cos of Sharon Stone, but that’s me.

Now all I’ve got to do is find the time to sit in front of a computer to watch all this stuff – an iPod video is a very handy thing, you know…
