NyooTV – India’s answer to Hulu

by Satish on August 9, 2010

What?

NyooTV is an online video streaming site which has an immense library of  TV shows, music videos, movie trailers and entire movies for your viewing pleasure. You can now watch all this without the guilt of watching illegal content!

NyooTV essentially aggregates video from all possible sources and adds a few social media features while at it. Facebook chat is baked into the site as well. Plus, I like the simplistic interface and the video player which NyooTV seem to have got spot on. I’ve seen many a good site fumble with their video players in an attempt to provide advertisements. The site will also detect your bandwidth and give you the right feed.

A lot of the content creators like Big Cinemas, Star and their ilk are putting up their content on their shows and movies on their websites.  At the end of the day, you have all of the content at a single place, which cannot be a bad thing.

I, for one, am thoroughly excited by their tie up with Amar Chitra Katha. These were the comic books that brought history to life during my childhood, which was otherwise filled with monochromatic textbooks. Here’s hoping that NyooTV evolves into a definitive answer to Hulu and Netflix. Its about time.

You don’t say…

Alright, there are some niggles, but hopefully they will be sorted out very soon. Like, for a lot of videos the site gives a page stating “Having trouble watching this video? Watch it on the original site.” Also, I wish NyooTV would have less obtrusive ads than the plain old 25 second spot before a video plays. Thats 25 seconds of a user waiting for his content. And 25 seconds is a lot of time in today’s screen age.
