"So I tried out Vongo last night (since I was using Windows, I could do that… hey, wow, cool!) and I have to say that it’s pretty neat. The UI is Flash based, but useful and not obnoxious, the signup was quick, the browsing was good, the previews came up quickly (Flash Media rocks), the streaming video was cool to watch, and the downloads worked instantly and like they should. In short I think it’s a winner, though it definitely has some first generation issues, which I’ll explain below."

Different review, same result. Seems Vongo has plenty of potential, but there are a few issues that need to be fleshed out. Users are limited to using the Vongo interface, it doesn't play nice with Windows Media Center Edition, and there are only a few PVPs that are Vongo-compatible. The true test will be to see whether or not Starz listens to all of this feedback, and makes strides to offer consumers what they want.
