I searched and didn't find this mentioned. Pretty interesting site. I was approved 3-4 days after I applied for the Beta. Basically watch (at good quality!) any TV shows you might have missed.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

I've signed up for both Hulu and Joost. Both are really easy to use and provide good video quality (not HD-level, but certainly better than YouTube). Joost requires an install of a player while Hulu is strictly browser-based.

Joost has a lot of content but not much that's nationally recognizable (although they do have Fifth Gear if you're a fan).

Hulu's got network-approved content complete with full episodes of a lot of well-known shows (though mostly NBC- and Fox-affiliated properties). You really have to be careful and look for the little "TV" icon that denotes a full episode. Otherwise you'll just get clips of the shows.

Definitely a good resource for a HTPC. ;)
