Microsoft Live Station is yet another copy-cat concept from MS after zune, virtual earth and Silver light! This time they are targeting on Joost, a revolutionary online television service.

The service is not exacty a copy of Joost, but with differences in the core technology used for delivering content to end users. Live Station is based on a P2P network architecture to transfer live TV program and silverlight is used as the video backend.

Here is an extract from the Live Station Website:

“Imagine your audience being able to watch your live TV content at their desktop, at the airport, at home and in fact, anywhere they can get an Internet connection to their PC! Imagine a quality image with no buffering or stopping! Imagine the possibilities of being able to allow your audience to ‘click’ on a TV advert exactly as they do on the web but while watching your existing TV channels. All without having to change your current business processes in the slightest! “

The service is still in Beta stage and if you are interested in a Beta Testing feel free to signup here. I have signed up a few days back but still no responses from MS!
