iTunes UK Movies and TV Soon?

About bloody time... Corrie on iTunes, anyone? ;)

Hopefully the Beeb will get involved and channel 4. Although 4 already has 40D.

Hopefully BBC shows will be free, but I can't see Apple being all for that.

Already have an EyeTV but this could be cool.

Interesting. I wonder if this is why the BBC are saying that there will be access to an iPlayer for Macs in September.

This is excellent news. Apple TV is now actually useful!

Now that movies and series are coming to iTunes in Europe, what do you think happens in non english speaking countries? How are subtitles handled?

BBC shows would have to be free, if they are offered at all. The licence fee prevents them charging for shows we would receive for free otherwise.

Plus, given the whole iplayer thing, there would be a complete uproar (given the fact it only works on windows - therefore meaning Mac users would effectively be seen to be paying a 'mac tax' to watch them).

i thought they hadn't set a date :confused:

i've got the iPlayer on boot camp, but it's not all it's cracked up to be, methinks. needs a bit of work.

Wait.... this isn't about the iPhone?

It costs money to watch BBC shows on BT Vision as they are provided by BBC Worldwide (the commercial arm).
