I agree with John N. I run an educational web site and we used Blip to host our streaming videos, all in accordance with their terms. Just recently, I discovered that they were inserting advertisements before our videos -- we did did not authorize this. Worse yet, for some videos, after watching an advertisement, a message appeared saying the video the viewer expected to watch was unavailable! When I went to our Blip.TV dashboard, I found there was no apparent way I could opt out of the advertising. For those videos that were "unavailable" and not playing properly, I thought that I might upload new versions to see if that might fix the problem. But my dashboartd would not let me remove the old videos. More puzzling, the videos that weren't playing properly when embedded in our site were playing just fine on the Blip site. The "Contact Us" link had been removed, so there was no east way I could ask for help or explanation. My assessment is that the new Blip is buggy, the people who run it don't abide by their published agreements, and their service sucks dead toads. If you're looking for a host for you videos, look elsewhere.
