Customer Reviews

Do not subscribe. Sorry, NASA.

by gigamac

This could have been a great podcast. It really could have. The problem was that out of several weeks of subscription, I am yet to view a flawless episode. The video is broken, and sound is cut off in places. where it does work, it looks great, but there are simply too many breaks and freezes for this podcast to be any good. Thus: good idea, horrible quality

Not AppleTV Compatible

by Daz Haganz

Excellent vidcast, but please begin distributing in a format that is compatible with the AppleTV

Does not work on ATV

by dmm219

1. It takes virtually no effort to make this in a format viewable on ATV (it already works on QT). 2. Itunes once again does not know what its extremities are doing, as its STILL listed on ATV menus and as viewable on the ATV.
