I tried it last night and found the quality to be pretty terrible. I watched a couple episodes of Family Guy (of the 3 that they had up) and started to watch a movie, but for me the video maybe averaged about 15fps (just a guess). Still, it was impressive I suppose that the thing never skipped from an audio perspective and it was at least watchable. Now the HDTV trailers that they had up were (at least last night) NOT watchable. Maybe 5fps at best (though again the audio was good). Perhaps the performance will improve with time as the infrastructure gets beefed up and tweaked. The selection also needs to be quite a bit more complete to keep me coming back.

Selection aside, I find Joost to be a much better experience. I suppose the need for a dedicated client is its main downfall. Still, the quality of the video is far superior.
