We released a new SpeedBit Video Accelerator beta last week - and we’re very excited.
This beta adds acceleration support for the new Netflix “Watch Now” (download on demand) service.

Like our SpeedBit Video Accelerator Premium users already know - having SVA run on top of your movie download app - whether it be iTunes or NetFlix, makes all the difference.

Our users report:
Downloading a single 50 minutes TV episode - can shrink from 3 hours of downloading to a mere 20 minutes with SpeedBit Video Accelerator!

That’s the difference between watching what you download at the same day, to watching it the day after

We’d also like to note that unlike the iTunes version, we have decided to make the Netflix support free for a limited trial period.

We believe that once you experience your movie downloads with it - the value of Speedbit Video Accelerator Premium will become ever more clear.

As usual - the new version supports all the free features:
Acceleration of streaming videos from youTube and other 100+ sites
(facebook videos included !), integral web-wide video search (powered by TruVeo), and a “recently accelerated” list which functions as a kind of “history” tab.

So if you can’t wait for the official release - go on and try the beta now.

Without drum beats or horn blows, we released the new version of the SVA website late last week.
When we release a new software version, it always seems “more important”, than merely facelifting a few web pages.
But the truth of the matter is, there is more to redesigning a website, than just plain “aesthetic optimization”, especially in this case.

Together with the SpeedBit design team, we decide that a complete re-design is needed, rather than a “patch job” on the old site.
We didn’t feel obligated to stay within the confines of a standard, color-on-white, corporate website presumptions and the result is the slick, stylish, dark-gray (it’s not black - see Ohad? I remember ) design you can see now. We love it.

In addition to overhauling the visual design, we also wanted to implement more features that we already knew we want, but never had time to put them in.
There’s a new Frequently Asked Questions section under Help, with new Q&As from our support team, including a brand-new online firewall guide.

We improved & redesigned the Server Status page, now completely database driven, which now allows you to see which of our 100+ supported sites is compatible with your SVA version in real time.
The new Buy page was redesigned to better address PC iTunes users.

All of the coverage and media exposure we got since we first released SVA, was also reorganized and redesigned, and can now be easily thumbed through in our Press section or directly from the homepage.

So even though this wasn’t a “new version release”, it was still a not-so-small challenge, and we are very happy and proud to offer our users a better browsing experience.
I know we are excited about the new videoaccelerator.com and I can just hope you will be too, when you see it.
So what are you waiting for, come on down!

SpeedBit Video Accelerator Team
