Also having loading and quality issues described above, but figure these aren’t Mac specific and connected to the trouble Joost is having handling the volume.

Joost is a promising service. I will keep trying out the next updates (it’s still a beta!) and watch it improve (I’m sure it will).

I was early with Joost – 1st on my now-departed Windoze machine, then, with the MacIntel Mini as soon as they had the beta up and running. Never had any problems with the critter.

Haven’t dropped by their site in a week or two and perhaps their current code has dropped in a new bug. It does happen, ya’ know.

Problems like that shouldn't be unexpected. Having said that, I installed and ran Joost just fine yesterday on my C2D iMac.</p> Well, it is still in beta afterall.

Sounds more like a First Generation Intel-Mac chip problem. Those of us who got the “first batch” will forever regret not holding off a few months for the 2nd Generation chip.

There are numerous problems that are just now appearing with Gen 1 chips — I’ve already resigned myself to thinking of it as a fairly expensive DVD player.
