Joost is the magic of television, with the power of the internet built right in. Joost will put you in control, and TV will never be the same again.

Joost is a new way of watching TV on the internet. With Joost, you get all the things you love about TV, including a high-quality full-screen picture, hundreds of full-length shows and easy channel-flipping.

Here are some key features of "Joost":

· Check out channels on Joost
So many choices, so little time. Use the Explore section to find channels, shows or videos. You can browse by category or check out what's new and popular. If you need instant gratification, use the search bar to find what you want.

· Use the controller
Remember the days of fighting for control of the remote control? Those days are over. Now you're always in control. Switch shows, jump forward or find something new. It's on your demand ... well, and your fingertips.

· Watch Joost in window mode
Does size matter? Debatable. Take Joost. Full-screen video, just like you want it. Unless you have to work. So make Joost smaller, drag it to a corner, do your work AND be entertained. Right click to keep Joost on top.

· Invite your friends to Joost
Did anyone ever tell you it's better to give than to receive? Uh huh. Not sure we buy that either, but when we're not buying anything, hey, we'll give it away too. So invite your friends. It's easy, it's free, and hey, it might make you feel good.

· Create your own channel
You wanted to be a GM of a baseball team, and they gave you fantasy baseball. Same for football. Call Joost fantasy network executive. Choose what you want to watch, program your own channel, and watch it when you want to.

· Share Joost with a friend
Did you see that? Right there. Fast forward. No, no, rewind. Right. There. End the frustration. Share channels, shows or exact moments with friends through Joost Links. Now everyone will know what you're talking about.

· Blog while watching Joost
Sometimes it's good to multitask. Like when you've just chomped down on a burger and someone asks you a question you don't want to answer. Or when you're watching a show on Joost and you want to write about it on your blog.
