Wanna watch some TV?

[sff_corgi_lj]

(I'll need the e-dress you want to use for signup)

The software download is about 10Mb; apparently Sothis doesn't quite have enough video memory to make it perfectly happy, but it works.

Channels of particular interest:

• Entertainment
  • Alliance Atlantis Sci-Fi
    Currently running Lexx and something I hadn't heard of, Starhunter
  • AXN
    OMG, Starsky & Hutch!
  • ShortsTV
    Short films and behind-the-scenes (paging Mike Jittlov....)
• Cartoons & Animation
  • Aardman Animations
    An all-claymation channel, woohoo!
  • Adult Swim
    Yeah, it's mostly Aqua Teens Hunger Force, but they might put on something different eventually.
  • Transformers
    Yes, Blade, it's a channel for you.
  • Gong
    Anime channel showing stuff I've never heard of so far. :)
• Comedy
  • Spike
    no content yet? Maybe 'add channel'....
  • Funny Bone
    sitcom 'reruns'
  • Heavy Animation
    Snarky cartoons that Adult Swim didn't buy (yet?)
• Most Popular
  (although I'm not sure why I didn't see two of these sorted into the Genre sections)
  • Nickleodeon
    Ren and Stimpy
  • Comedy Central

Yeah, that should get you started. I didn't see the Warner stuff loaded yet, so something to look forward to. This is play-on-demand, so no schedules to bother with!

Now... if they'd only start a Cannell Channel... hmmmm. [looks for newsletter with contact info]

I am deadly curious. D'you have a spare invite floating around?

[sff-corgi.livejournal.com]

Which e-dress do you want me to use?

[angelofthenorth.livejournal.com]

what do I do to get the invite?

[sff-corgi.livejournal.com]

Just ask. :)

Which e-dress do you want me to use?

[livii.livejournal.com]

This sounds very interesting, and I know in particular Billy would be really, really interesting in checking it out, both on the technical video player level and to watch Transformers. ;)

So, may I have an invite, if you have some left? alivii@gmail.com would work spiffily.

[sff-corgi.livejournal.com]

It's in your mailbox!

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

I clicked on the link all prepared to be disappointed, but... there are lots of channels available worldwide! :D That's a new one.

If you still have invites left: nuevediamantes[at]gmail[dot]com

[sff-corgi.livejournal.com]

They're still acquiring things - it's still a beta, after all.

Apparently I have Lots, so no problem! It's on its way.

Alliance Atlantis is blocked in the US, for some lame reason¹. :(

---

¹ Like region encoding, the whole nonsense of blocking web sites and content outside of specific countries annoys the crap out of me. Maybe I'm just a "global consumer" at heart, but I don't see why I should be artificially prevented from buying things (or viewing media) from wherever I want... Grrr...

[sff-corgi.livejournal.com]

Bzuh? It's playing fine for me, d'ya think they finally kicked Miami out for being too Latino? Did you add the channel or are you getting an actual error message?

[xianghua.livejournal.com]

I'd like an e-vite, if you've got any less. Trainsdogs (locative) gmail (punctuation) com

[sff-corgi.livejournal.com]

I even have plenty left. ;) Did you look at piccies yet?

[selenesue.livejournal.com]

Me pleese! You know da numbah! I am very interested in checking this channel out.

[sff-corgi.livejournal.com]

Done!

[phantom_wolfboy]

Okay. I'm a sucker for getting in on the ground floor. randall.m at gmail.

[sff-corgi.livejournal.com]

[lift doors open] Ground floor, sir.

[cerrberus.livejournal.com]

This sounds like yet something else away from I should stay. But I have a nearly virgin gmail account.... Same misspelt hound 'n'all.

[sff-corgi.livejournal.com]

I sent it, let's see if you got it. :)

[qadgop.livejournal.com]

Starhunter was a terrible bounty-hunter-in-space series starring Michael Pare, which I'd nevertheless kinda like to see the second season of someday.

[sff-corgi.livejournal.com]

So... does this mean you want an invite? ^_^

[sff-corgi.livejournal.com]

Sure thing! Either 'unlimited' or 999 of them. ^_^ I'll get it out in just a bit. I managed to load the app on my flash drive, but I have to use it over on the test bed.

[irrelevantly] Hey, what's your favourite colour? [/irrelevantly]

[blueeyedtigress.livejournal.com]

O__O !!!!!!!!!

Okay, too cool for words. Wants, and thank you!

I think I have to upgrade my motherboard before I can dream of signing up for any such thing. You think Sothis is slow, you haven't met Ol' Iron Gears. But the motherboard is in the mail ....

[sff-corgi.livejournal.com]

Slow!? Only when I'm making her seed and crunch and surf all at the same time *grin*. (It was the video memory; the Matruska video support people are the ones who said she's 'too slow')

Look, click the invite, give it a try, it'll show you a compatibility analysis as part of the download/install anyway. I'll send it to your GMail, it's all the rage nowadays. ;)

[annechen-melo.livejournal.com]

Erm... after ranting at Hyperactive Lad for watching anime on the TV and Varius Fugit at the same time, would it be hypocritical of me to ask for an invite?

[sff-corgi.livejournal.com]

*heeheehee* Naaahhhh. Y! e-dress, yeah? I've only ever seen you use work else.

[erised1810.livejournal.com]

wow... is this free?
it's liek the radio programme i have that haspresets ofall these internet radio streams. so what youre talkign about is oen with tv streams? wheee!

[sff-corgi.livejournal.com]

So far it's free, yeah, because they've got advertisements placed in the programming - I haven't watched enough to figure out the pattern. You want an invite, too? I've no clue how accessible it is, but since it's in beta-test, your comments would be a lot more valuable than mine. *grin*
