Joost successfully run on Apple TV
March 27, 2007
tutorialninjas.net has reported success in running Joost on the Apple TV. There are currently some problems with fonts but I am sure this will be fixed in a near future… right? What does this mean? Once Joost goes live you will get free, unlimited TV experience in your living room for less than 300$… plus what Apple TV currently offers you:
- iTune Video playback
- iTune and mp3 audio playback
- Photo viewing
With another modification the Apple TV can be made to playback xvid/divx/WMV (yes, Microsoft Windows Media Video 7 to 9) as well.
I am sure this little box will be a great hit. Will Apple cripple future Apple TV to prevent it to run other software than then ones bundled in? Maby… but probably not.
Modifying you Apple TV is not yet as easy as installing an Apple application but it will get there eventually. When there is a will there is a way!
Thank you tutorialninja for taking the time to test this out!

Well the whole concept behind Joost is to provide a framework to advertisers with a more accurate read of the demographics and do a better job of target advertising.
Most of todays TV content that is archived or broadcast live is not in the highly compressed MPEG-4 part10 better known as h.264 compression standards.
Thus with content that is not of high quality the user experience is what is going to suffer and or maybe users will accept the lower quality as they seem to do so with the kind of TV programming out there now.
Bandwidth issues are going to be still an issue for the next 10 years or so in the US for sure.
It is like the concept of Hydrogen Powered cars in 20 years or so in the mean time we have Hybrids which are good to have but aren’t what bring the big dollars for the Toyota’s of the world.
I would think digital delivery of video content is inevitable but the entrenched players will ry and weigh in.
Will wait to be a Joost user for now…
[...] Joost, an internet TV service that offers cable channels such as MTV and VH1 over the internet, for free, has been found to work on the Apple TV. This means Apple TV owners will essentially get free TV from around the world. While Joost does not offer the same complete packages as regular cable, this is pretty much like downloading songs and loading them into your iPod. Not as good as buying a CD, but does anybody really care? Read all about this here: Joostteam.com [...]
Great job guys, this will turn the Apple TV into a revolutionary open source TV… Hopefully Apple won’t be on your back for doing such thngs…

Live TV kijken op je AppleTV met Joost…
Het is gelukt om Joost te installeren op de AppleTV; daarmee is het dus mogelijk om live TV te kijken via internet, met je normale TV. Plus natuurlijk alle andere leuke dingen die een AppleTV je biedt zoals het bekijken van foto’s, iTunes muziek, etc….
This sounds great, for Apple TV owners, but I was just wondering if it’s been tested on a PS3 yet, for the 1.5 million or so people who own one, including myself.

Wow, Joost sounds so cool. I would love to break the dependence on my horrible cable tv company. In addition, I just received by Sony XBR3 52″ yesterday. I am curious to see the quality of the picture that Joost provides, and how my Apple iTV will support it.
Keep it up guys, and if anyone can make an introduction, I would love to have access to the Beta.

Thanks for posting this, I’m new to all this stuff
but I’m enjoying reading up on it all
and finding out everyones points of view
Since when is 300$ free
What is the fuss about. Most video cards (including the one on my iMac) include video out to a second screen. My connection is a Mini DVI connector. One Mini to standard DVI and I am connected to the one DVI input on my LCD (have two HDMI’s - one will finally be used when I get my AppleTV). And with this I can watch Joost, Youtube and EyeTV recordings in full screen on my TV. And because the Apple remote seems to bounce off of everything I can sit in front of my TV and just use it. Until Apple makes it easy for me to add DivX support and Joost to my future AppleTV I will be leaving it alone.
can anyone spare an invitation..?
