You have DVR &HDTV. Why do you even want to watch low-quality TV on the little iPod screen? Just because you can doesn't mean you must. And paying for it too? I guess I'm not much of a nerd.

If you are happy watching the shows you want when they are broadcast, that is fine. But that puts you at the mercy of their broadcast schedule. Being able to hop over to iTunes and grab episodes are your schedule is a huge shift in the TV world. The iTunes store isn't perfect, there are certainly plenty of things I would like to do different, but I don't think moving to a subscription model is going to happen. I'm not convinced that it should happen. Comparing bittorrent to iTunes is just silly. Sure, you could go out and buy the car you want, but why should when you can just steal it right? You can argue that sharing copyrighted material (like movies or tv shows) via bittorrent should be legal, but for it isn't. -- Joseph Scott http://joseph.randomnetworks.com/ One point that you missed is availability.

Not everyone pays for TV. Something to remember. Not to knock your subscription idea, but I watch 10 hours of TV a week and it's 100% free (minus the one-time cost of the antenna on my roof).
