LOST, Desperate Housewives and more on Veoh
ABC is looking to expand the content it makes available on the Web with a deal to make such popular shows as “Lost,” “Desperate Housewives” and content from ESPN available online at independent site Veoh Networks. This is not the first Web syndication deal for ABC and its parent company Disney. However, media critics note, it’s significant considering ABC-Disney’s lock-tight grip it places on its content. However, despite the fact ABC is slowly cracking the syndication vault open a bit wider for online distribution ABC still plans to keep an iron grip on its content. In order for ABC to keep complete control over its video programming ABC is only allowing Veoh.com to show its programming through a proprietary ABC online video player.
The way it works is Veoh will not host ABC video content, rather when you choose to view ABC content the site advertises Veoh will launch the ABC video player and playback the desired video. Veoh users will be only slightly inconvenienced by this arrangement. To view ABC content you will have to download the ABC browser. When I did this, it was no big deal and consider only a mild annoyance. This means that Veoh is merely a conduit to drive users to ABC’s own website. This relationship is identical to an arrangement ABC struck with AOL last year. Unlike Veoh’s main competitors, such as Hulu and AOL video, Veoh is a mix of both professional video such as programming from CBS, USA and MTV and user-generated content.

I miss stage6, veoh is lame
I hear you sleazy joe, stage6 was totally great! It had EVERYTHING: tv shows, alot of new movies, and all in DivX, and you could download videos as well!
When they closed it (because the whole ‘too good 2 be true’ deal) I searched for site like that. I found Veoh. I wish I didn’t… It’s a stupid site – you can’t download nothin’
I think I will stick to my private trackers with torrents.
Why is RLslog so slow and dead nowadays ?
Veoh can suck my balls, so can rlslog.
I used to use Veoh before i discovered torrents. I still remember the joy of downloading each episode of Heroes season 1 to my veoh player (stored on my computer) only to find that the people at Veoh had GONE INSIDE MY COMPUTER AND DELETED THEM FROM MY HARDDRIVE before removing all the Heroes episodes on their site!
They may as well have raped my PC. I remember I wasn’t alone in flooding their forums with angry comments about this!
Screw Veoh.
Veoh can Suck my Kiss!
Give us stage6 back!
@9: It was possible to keep things you grabbed, but you had to be quick about it, renaming the files and copying them elsewhere.
Lucy is right, Kinda.
Just moving them to another folder OR renaming them would have been necessary. No need to do both.
RIP Cable and Satellite companies!!
I used to love Stage6 as well. Here’s a site I found when the rambo workprint first came out. I saw it online on this site quicksilverscreen.com and you could have downloaded TV episodes as well.
Veoh sucks hard yes, stage6 owned.
Veoh tv shows ect is for USA only (besides the user submittet videos) so its kinda like a lame wannabe ripoff of youtube for non USA peeps and also the quality of videos is ugly compared to the ones that where on stage6.
I deletet the link LONG ago from my hyperlinks, its a waste of time going there.
Veoh is no longer accessible in my country
@7
maybe because it’s summer?
Don’t be sad about Stage6 the relief is here:
