Apple iTunes sells episodes of many TV shoes the very next day, without commercials.
There is no way I will ever spend $70/month for cable, but I would happily spend $70/month for Netflix + Hulu + iTunes because timeshifting is that important to me.
- Gaussian 16y agoGood point on Apple. I was more thinking of specific channel content and making it available a la carte. So, say, $7/month for an ESPN stream.
- falcolas 16y agoI looked into this once, and to watch all the various TV shows we get on Hulu or satellite would cost us somewhere around 3x the cost of satellite. $2-3 an episode is just too much if you follow more than a handful of shows.
- hugh3 16y agoYeah, I'm happy to pay $30 a season for Mad Men, since that's the only show I'd be watching on cable anyway. Well, that plus Doctor Who. Is there any legal way I can legally get Doctor Who without shelling out a thousand bucks a year to Comcast for a million hours of other shite I don't want?
- officemonkey 16y agoWell, there's Netflix: http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Doctor_Who/70142441 http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Doctor_Who/70142441 Do you mean brand-new episodes? I suppose you could go to the BBC site (http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw) and fake a UK HTTP header.
