That seems to me to be rather expensive - why would I pay more than twice as much for one episode of a programme (that I'll only watch once) than I would for a song on iTunes (that, presumably, I'll listen to many times over)?

I tend to agree...BUT... I have a teenager who has spent her hard-earned money to get full seasons of a few shows ......

A one hour show takes 2 hours to download (sounds ridiculous to me)

I'd rather stream my video from my laptop (via orb) to my dell axim or ATT 8525 :)
