VeohTV Beta
I was recently invited to test VeohTV (it is currently available only for Windows). VeohTV is a Joost competitor in the Internet TV space. VeohTV definitely has a better user interface than Joost. It also boasts of video networks not found in Joost such as ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX featurettes, YouTube, MySpace, Google Video, Yahoo, and others.
VeohTV’s UI also allows you to search for videos and download for later viewing.
Overall, VeohTV has a competing edge to Joost because of its diverse video network and it sports an uncluttered user interface. The only thing that was annoying was the clicks and sounds that came from Internet Explorer while navigating the interface (they are basically using IE as their backend browser and Flash for their UI).
Considering Joost has been so popular and early favorite, I think VeohTV could be the only thing that can stand in their way. Joost by the way is still gearing to launch (not sure what they are waiting for).
I don’t have any invites to give away this time. However, you can request for one here.

How come it’s Windows-only? It’s flash so what’s stopping Macs and Penguins from viewing veoh?
Anyway, good post! I’ve been longing to have access to US shows other than the “forbidden way”.

i would think it’s because of the IE browser they are using. If they have only decided to use FF or XUL, they could have provided penguins and leopards.
