They have many updates and more shows are added weekly (or isn't it monthly). I’ve been using Joost since Beta.. and I can say it’s good..

I don't think requiring a desktop app is a deal breaker either. It's actually nice to use. The problem for everyone _outside_ the US is that too much content is locked up based on geographic boundaries. If you can't provide a good unified consumer experience, you're going to be doomed to failure in the end. I'd love to use Joost more but the Asia/Pacific content is almost uniformly crap (the wrong type of unified consumer experience). The downfall of Joost as a global IPTV player will be because Joost was unable to strike any decent global distribution deals. The technology for Joost is pretty nifty.
