  9. […] Today we learn via Mashable, who in turn picked it up via WebTVWire, that WiTV is a new Italian-based service that shuns the P2P architecture and provides for more communications options than Veoh or Joost, and presumably, Babelgum. […]

  11. […] WiTV is the new entrant in the internet TV market that aims to compete with services like Joost, Babelgum and Veoh TV. WiTV is the code name of the service and its not yet launched WebTVWire has some nice screenshots and a preview about the service. WiTV is the product of CrossCsat Systems and based in Italy. […]

  12. […] WebwireTV got a sneak preview of a new online video client designed to compete with the likes of Joost and other higher quality online video offerings. The few differences between the two clients include a central content distribution model — Joost uses P2P — and support for Steve Job’s hobby. Beyond that, WiTV doesn’t have the same kind of content deals that Joost has, although the interface and the absence of any kind of software installation definitely shows potential. […]

  35. Joost erhält Konkurrenz……

    … und zwar von einem italienischen Entwicklerteam. Das Produkt WiTV, befindet sich zwar noch in Entwicklung, bietet trotzdem schon jedemenge interessante Funktionen. Ein Beispiel gefällig? Bei WiTV wird keine zusätzliche Software auf dem Comput…

  36. […] While apparently still under wraps, an impressive looking online video viewing service is gaining some attention. It is browser-based and will feature ecommerce functionality, built in chat features, and some interesting ad units that slide out from the side while watching the content. A detailed review is featured on Web TV Wire, but here are some quick screenshots: […]

  37. […] For an in-depth look and sneak peak, head on over to WebTVWire, who recently had a chance to take it out for a test drive. […]

  38. […] Lo que si nos interesa mucho y nos va a tener esperando por probarlo, es la calidad de su interfaz. La interfaz de Joost es horrible y compleja, y Babelgum, aunque no la hemos utilizado, podemos ver que es más de lo mismo. En cambio en el sitio Web TV Wire podemos ver algunos pantallazos de la interfaz de WiTV y se ve mucho mejor que lo que hemos visto hasta hoy. Si quieres tener una prueba de lo que son capaces estos tipos — en cuanto a interfaz — puedes probar otro de sus reproductores, StreamCast, con el cual están creados los canales de Feedbeat — y donde también puedes crear tu propio canal usando videos de YouTube, DailyMotion y otros servicios de videos online.

  48. Actually there is a Spanish project launched on May 07 that offers all this features with a coll interface, plus a set of Artificial Intelligence to put relevance in all that content. Users vote and depending on those votes the system offers the content users want to see depending on those preferences. Amazing… Just take a look dnastream.tv

  49. […] The highly anticipated WiTV is poised to give Joost and similar services such as VeohTV a run for their money. It boasts some innovative features that sets it apart from the rest of the pack. Among them: […]

  50. […] Wi-TV is a new browser-based Online Television system. Yes, that’s right, browser-based. Unlike its many competitors, WiTV does not require users to download any software to view its offerings. It also works on most operating systems, virtually eliminating compatibility issues. It supposedly even works with many mobile and other third party media devices, offering the opportunity for users to watch Online Television almost anywhere they want. […]

  58. […] WebTV Wire has the scoop on a new IPTV outfit called, WiTV. Interestingly they’ve opted for a centralised content delivery model they call CrossCast rather than P2P. How they plan to get this to scale will be very interesting. […]

  59. […] WiTV, as opposed to Babelgum, is heading straight for the lion’s den and aiming to tackle Joost head on for the attention of the media companies. However there are some vital differences in the technology behind the service. Rather than opting for P2P technology, WiTV has chosen to distribute its content from a central server and it has developed the service as a browser based application which users will not need to download (unless they want to, in which case that option is also available). For me, this is already a winning point in terms of usability. WiTV got a sneak preview with some great imagery on Web TV Wire: […]

  60. I watch wwitv. They show the same five science fiction movies over and over again. They NEED CONTENT.

    On the other hand, they do have a link to classic arts tv—and that is worth its weight!!!!

    That is basically what I watch on wwitv–and I am quite grateful for that.

  61. Penny: wwitv and witv are different products

  62. Great stuff and information on these features including some pretty screenshot

    Thx for sharing
