In the second one I feel like every element is trying to get my attention. Very hard to concentrate on reading anything. The first one is much calmer. (And the difference is mainly the b/w color :-D )
The logo is really designless, compared to the website. I would make a real logo for this one. Basically that's it. Looks professional.
may be u can use some different shades of the grey itself (make it look bit intereseting) what do u say... the slider arrow are preetty big try to cut the size...rest is okey i guess
I think you need to go with the clean look and feel you have going. I would work on subtle details more instead of using hard lines and details. So, in essence, soften everything. Good direction.
Both concepts have their merits - running them by folks who fit the target audience may help you determine which is better suited.
Wanted to introduce you to For Your Inspiration - a blog created by a former CEO and branding guru for television. There's some good tips on branding for audiences you may find interesting.

A. Perhaps try out more shades of blue B. The green rating dots are bit out of the color scheme. Replace with blue. If links are blue, keep all links blue (consistency is important for user experience) and do not mix blue/green.
Overall the design is good and serves its purpose well. I didnt rate it high on originality since its common template look - though there is nothing wrong with that since it looks great!
The engagement is good. Consider adding over the video play buttons like youtube does so users can engage right away. I am not sure what would happen on clickign "Watch Now". Which video would that be? The play buttons should be over the video's first thumbshot.
I dont like the last design. Color schememakes text very hard to read.
