no video in large resolution

I think what the other guy was trying to say about the itunes videos for ipods only is that they are sold in 320x240 resolution, or what ever the ipod screen resolution is, not a larger resolution which would be better quality for a large pc screen. and not a tiny box, that when you stretch bigger the picture gets fuzzy cause of the low resolution.

People are paying too much.

We need 2 versions downloadable: one for portable devices and one for PCs/TVs. Why are people agreeing to pay this much for such a small low rez file? I soon as I walk into my house why not watch the rest of the show on TV/PC with much cleared picture and better audio?

They are learning

I think this is great news. Seeing more networks embrace this digital era. There was obvious demand for shows to be available digitally. It looks like companies are finally listening to the consumers. The media is growing along with technology. Now once they start having movies alvailable I'll be happy. It really bites having to spend 3 hours encoding a single video. Especially when you have over 300 movies that you'd like to be portable. It would also be great if other stores besides iTunes had this option.
