VeohTV is a “video browser” that allows users to pick content they want to see from around the Internet. Users are required to download software that provides them with a “single interface to search, browse and view all video on the Internet.”

VeohTV is different than similar offerings from Joost and Babelgum because users get to choose the content instead of having content served to them.

veoh has financial troubles (just did two rounds of lay offs) so it won't be opening blocked countries any time soon. The main reason for veoh to block 85% of the internet in a first place was to save money on bandwidth by cutting out development nations - "nobody wants to pay for advertising there...". YouTube anyone? :-)

please leave available in Malaysia..!!! we all need VEOH!!!

the 165 countries represent < 10% of veoh viewers and a smaller percent of publishers not 85% as Michael has suggested above

VEOH is a company that has betrayed 85% of its community without notice nor apology, yet still retains the uploaded data so that the privileged few can still watch and download what is now classified as stolen property. In a move unseen throughout the history of the internet they switched off 165 countries, leaving only 33. Two of the countries they didn't switch off were Poland and Russia - who contribute less than Luxembourg, Czech Republic or Slovakia (all banned) - and it just so happens that one of VEOH top dogs comes from.... I have moved all my videos from VEOH and contributed them to the new, openly "Anti VEOH" sites that are mushrooming now.

Ya, I have tried veoh. So far, it sucks completely. Their software is unstable and that is saying it nicely. Downloading, once you get the software to work, can take forever. Once you have a show dl, you can then get an error message telling you to dl a codex in order to view the show you just spent forever downloading. Even though you have the codex indicated, you can still get the same error message over and over. Also, I am a potential consumer looking for better than television fare. So far, veoh does not offer that. They have a youtube "channel". So what? I can go to youtube and already see what I have subscribed to or favorited there. I don't need a duplicate service which is how I view veoh after trying to use for a month or so. Like any other site that allows uploads, most of the vids are infringing on copyrights. This means that just about everything I want to see is up there illegaly. Again, I can go to youtube to see "bootlegs". The troubleshooting section for veoh is a joke. It is more like an advertisement for the site than a real help section. I had troubles getting started and turned to the troubleshooting section, not only to my chagrin, but I wasted alot of time trying to figure things out. You are also directed to the forums for help. I don't know about you, but searching through reams of threads and posts to find a fix is not my idea of time well spent on the internet. The video search feature sucks too. There is no flexibility in searching so you can narrow down your hits. Honestly, the model for this is out there. Does anyone at veoh even know what youtube is? I don't use veoh unless: Someone has posted a playlist of videos I want to see. I have seen links on other site to playlists on veoh which was cool because then I didn't have to search for each vid myself and try to make a playlist. youtube, by the way, has links to playlists. It's a fantastic feature, no? I have emailed veoh many, many times with no answer. When I had an issue with youtube, they answered back WITH a solution in less than 24 hours. I NEVER send money to sites that treat me as invisible or make me feel like there is no real community. A standard has been set, veoh. If you want ppl to PAY for your service, you should at least rise to the basics already all over the internet. I find it hard to understand how a site can be so messed up and have all this corporate money involved. Unless it's meant as a write off or something. Next time give the money to a bunch of teens who love media. I gaurantee you will get better results.
