I love this option of buying tv shows better than TIVO. Plus Jon Stewart isn't available on DVD so iTunes has helped me in this regard.

And the Apple strong hold on digital media continues.

how many of those 1 million free HD downloads were free? doesn't really matter though, shows that there is a demand for HD content. but how many are willing to pay a premium is what apple will have to wait and see

All we need now is for all that TV and movie content (HD or not) to appear in the Danish store as well. That would boost sales even further.
I hate all this regional stuff in general. The world has turned global in almost every respect.
Those regional lock-outs in the out-dated commercial distribution model makes piracy all the more attractive.

I also wish we had more networks available for TV shows in iTunes Canada. Still no Fox, so that means no Family Guy, American Dad, Simpsons, etc. I also wish TV shows were 0.99$, at 1.99$ is still makes no sense compared to the monthly cost of cable/satellite.

Who's buying these shows and why? Do you not have a DVR? Are you trapped in a closet with nothing better to do than watch reruns of your limited library, over and over and over? Are you really gonna watch "Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader" eight times? You people scare me.

I like being able to purchase TV shows. Very convenient. Can watch them anytime anywhere. Glad to see that sales are improving.
