The quality is significantly "less than" DVDs, the shows from ABC do NOT contain an English audio track (unlike the DVDs), and the price is not even reasonable considering the DVD prices here and having to backup everything.
I'm not sure why it was done so half-heartedly. Especially since licensing models still make us wait more than a year for episodes with above mentioned restrictions.
Leaving out the original sound track makes them useless to a lot of people.

Nice to see that it is finally there..
But i think it is already to late for some of them. For example south park is available online for free with very little advertisement. The quality is indeed very half-assed. I hope they are going to fix that.

very cool
not really. Most of the stuff they put up isn't worth watching in the first place.
I was hoping for more American TV series - with multiple audio tracks including the orginal audio version(!).
German TV is crap right now!
Expensive, too. Oh well, it can only get better I guess.

I agree with that, and the US shows wil probably will already on the US-Itunes store when they come to Holland.
I live in Holland but buy shows on the US-Itunes store, you just need to buy a US-Itunes gift card on Ebay. And then set up an US account, i am doing this already for a long time.
And the shows are also allot cheaper with the dollar. And this is also when you buy music.

This is a great site to buy Itunes gift cards, and you get the code in a few minutes.

Above poster, I would like to do that trough US buying, but i'd rather bully Apple and the studios and download them free in the meanwhile, until they stop acting stupid and give us movies and TV shows:D;)!
Take that! Har Har!
