Following the 30dc with Miro

The lifhacker.com blog posted a very good review on Miro, "The TiVo of Internet Video"

In the dog days of summer when there's absolutely nothing new on television (except the Olympics), it's time to start watching the web--and you need the right tool to do just that. The free, cross-platform internet video player Miro can automatically download online video series via RSS feed or BitTorrent, play almost any format you throw at it, and keep track of what you've watched and what's new and queued up for you. More and more independent producers are putting out fabulous video content on the web, but keeping up with it by visiting your favorite video hosting web site or in your regular feed reader can be almost impossible--but setting up Miro is like getting TiVo for web video. Let's take a look at how to subscribe to free internet television with Miro.

You should read the rest, quite intersting: The Rest

Okay, You're convinced now, that Miro is the new TV. Being without it was absolutely boring..

Because I love the 30 day challenge, I'm following it on Miro too. So if you haven't installed it, do it now!

How to Follow The Thirty Day Challange On Miro:

Steps:

1. Start the program
2. Click (if you're set to english..) Channels (The Top bar, where the "Files" menu used to be)
3. Click Add Channel (you could've skipped these 2 steps, just by hitting Ctrl+N (on Windows..))
4. Copy and Paste The following URL there: http://www.youtube.com/ut_rss?type=username&arg=eddale

Okay Now, You'll get your new subscription on the left hand side as "YouTube :: videos by eddale"

Click on that, it'll open the channel on the right hand side, and make sure you set the AUTO DOWNLOAD to NEW (you don't want to download all that 20 video in 1 go...)
