- Searching Veoh and other popular video sites
- Adding your own video RSS feeds
- The ability to download web videos onto your hard drive Tivo-style
- Organizing and tagging features from within the desktop app
- A BitTorrent downloader
This is definitely a shot at Joost, but Veoh has a bit more freedom than Joost has. Whereas Joost limits you to channels that they've set up, with VeohTV, the entire web can become a channel. In the demo that I saw, VeohTV went out to Fox's video site and grabbed video to stream directly onto the TV. The interface is all controlled using a remote, so this is meant to be something of a media center application - all powered by web video.
The download is currently only available for Windows but a Mac version is coming. I should have some beta invites this week so if you're interested in checking it out, leave me a comment. I really like what they've done and think it's a great example of the continued blend of web apps and desktop apps.
