In2TV is up and going...for some

[JCorey3rd]

So after all the hype AOL/TW has In2TV up, but I'm not sure if it's working properly since I received this prompt when trying to watch F Troop:

You have received this page because you do not have the necessary software to watch video on In2TV -- the first broadband TV network. AOL has included rights protection on all In2TV video content and you need Windows XP and Windows Media Player 10 to experience all that this great new service has to offer.

Being a Mac user, I'm out of luck for getting to enjoy this brand new world of entertainment. Thanks for nothing AOL.

for some reason it aint working for me. i can watch adverts but i cant see the actual shows on there. im pretty sure i have all the right stuff needed to view but i just get a black screen when i try to watch any episodes of shows. anyone else having this problem?

Working for me:) , though it is a bit blurry.
Already on my second episode of the New Adventures of Batman (BOY; it's been such a long time since seeing that! People thought all these years Scrappy was so bad; Bat Mite takes the cake, and is worse than even Gleek.)

8 episodes of Batman are up, as well as Beetlejuice, Pinky and the Brain, Freakazoid and Histeria.

I saw the first 3 episodes of NAoB, and I'm telling you all if I don't see this show as a DVD in a couple of years, I'll be really mad.

I want the DVD vesrion of that toon. Warners, we're waiting.

I know how you feel, DT; it's as close as Batfans will ever come to a DVD release of the live-action 1960s series, what with Adam West and Burt Ward back in the saddle. :cool:

well the closest is the Batman movie with Adam and Burt that Fox put out on DVD - but without Julie Newmar as Catwoman, it's not the same.

I caught the "Moonman" episode of NAoB today, with hardly any trouble at all.
(I did a WTF when I saw the Kia SUV ad, though.)

This really should be on a channel like Boomerang. If BTAS can be put on it, why not this Batman?

Just got done watching New Advs. of Batman: "The Pest". Man, this takes me back to when it debuted on CBS (Feb. 1977) as a mid-season replacement. I've bookmarked the site, so I can visit there every night. They had trouble loading "F-Troop", so I logged off the site. It's just the normal first-day bugs that will get worked out.

What I'm looking forward to: Toonopia adding more DC toons, obviously.

Right now, they have just 8 eps each for all of the series on the roster (NAoB, Wonder Woman, Chico & the Man, et al). I would expect them to expand on that as time passes, adding more series along the way, especially ones I've never seen (i.e. Surfside 6, Bronco). Maybe tomorrow I'll get to see "F-Troop"....!:D

[PeppeRaskell1]

They should really put some of those ToonTopia cartoons on an OnDemand channel on DTV. Not everyone can or wants to sit at the computer watching cartoons on a teensy little screen all day.

Actually, it has a full screen viewing option (a little black symbol to the lower right). I put it on like this, and was watching it in bed, (until it began fritzing out) and it was simply a matter of looking in a different direction from the TV. And if you know how to hook the computer up to the TV, that that would solve that as well. But yes, they should have more of this stuff on In Demand as well.

After the first few episodes of Batman, it did begin acting up; and at first kept starting over from the first episode, then freezing sometimes, then completely scrambling into unintelligible sound blips and color splotches (made for nice vivid watercolor paintings), and then playing with still images. (the commercials usually are totally unaffected, though!:shrug:) Sometimes I would get a Microsoft window error message saying it might be the player. If that were the case; I don't see how it would ever work at all. This mornng trying to advance a following episode after it froze, it took an hour using the << and >> buttons (with the same three commercials playing over and over).

You need to download AOL's Hi-Q software in order to view these things. If you go to a show page and click on "Hi-Q" video, it should lead to a Download page. No clue if it works on Macs, though.

[Frank Castle]

I caught a few episodes of Freakazoid! today and it just makes me want it on dvd even more.

[John Pannozzi]

Hey, J.B. Warner, you said you wanted to see Freakazoid!, right? Well, come and get it!

[MGFanJay]

Having not kept up with this, it came out of nowhere for me, and it should be a great way for me to see shows I haven't seen in many years (like Freakazoid and Hangin' With Mr. Cooper) while exposing me to stuff I missed (like NaoB). I can't believe I can finally see the Fugitive again, and essentially on demand as well.
