"Some things never change, including male cluelessness."

Heh, know what else never changes? Female insecurity.

Joost's interface is garbage, but it has real shows available (granted it's mostly CSI which I couldn't care less about but that's beside the point.) I personally WANT a net-based, cable-tv replacement, because I hate cable TV and canceled mine years ago.

I tried Miro when it was Democracy and again after the change. It's a noble effort, but it's of no use to me for two reasons:

1. BitTorrent is useless. I don't know if my ISP is throttling traffic or if I'm just unlucky but I get an average of 2-7k/sec trying to use torrents from anywhere. Meanwhile I can hop on newsgroups and get 150k/sec. Plus bittorrent files are only fast if they are popular enough to have seeders.

2. As stated in previous comments, most of the content on Miro is "Indie" which is another way of saying Crappy. (disclaimer: I like a fair amount of Indie music but for every good independent band, there's about 100 suck ones. But when it comes to Indie film/video work, it's more like 1 good one for every 100,000,000 idiots lip-syncing to horrible songs or talking about how great the cheese sandwich they made was.)
