We’re not quite ready for primetime, calling it an early Beta instead. Like many things, we have a zillion ideas to try out and will continue to rev the service. Check it out if you have a chance.
Here’s a few sample channels to test drive with:
- Jack Bauer (of 24 fame)
- The Office
- Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
- Tony Romo
- Brett Favre
- Live concerts from the Fillmore in San Francisco
- Kings of Leon
- Lady Gaga
