TV on your iPod
Just wondering if anyone (with a video iPod) ever watches TV shows on them. Warner Bros. just announced that they're jumping on the bandwagon and making their television shows available on iTunes. So here's my question as well: do people just buy a season or a show at a time, like we buy a song or an album? If so, what's the general cost for a show or a season?

No way, man. The video iPods as of a couple of years ago allowed viewers to watch TV -- I'm also wondering about the quality of the picture as well. I'm sure it's way better than our little handheld tv's before with the cruddy reception.

So how is the extra costs of downloads, or tv shows, etc covered. Do you have to have a credit card to do you use paypal? Can anyone help?

I'm guessing that you use your credit card the same as you do when you download music. I'm also guessing that a tv show is a lot more information, so it most likely a) costs more than music and b) takes longer to download

Why would you want to WATCH anything on a screen that small? Listen to songs & podcasts...yes, but watch video/tv...no way!!

I'm guessing that people do it for one of two reasons:
1) it's a mobile television, so they can catch up on their addiction anywhere
2) it's a novel approach to watching tv
I can't imagine sitting in the living room recliner to watch a tv show on my iPod, but I can see a person sitting in an airport watching one.
