You don't need to wait for Netflix, all you need is Azureus and an RSS plugin, feed it an rss feed from somewhere like tvrss.net and you can get each new episode downloaded automatically.

WIth no desire to pay for an entire cable TV connection, the current broadcast television shows I watch such as Battlestar Galactica and Heroes at $1.99 an episode. From what I read, NBC wanted to raise the price of an episode to $4.99! What the hell are they thinking? I don't know about you, but the occasional 1/2 to an hour TV show is a little expensive already at $1.99, and $4.99 is just ridiculous.

NBC also wanted even *more* copy protection limitations as well. With the music from the Universal Music Group gone as well, there's now much less available on iTunes.

I guess my only option now will be rent the episodes in a couple of years on Netflix.

Now that my entire music collection is on iTunes I've been purchasing a lot more music. On the occasion I come across a CD that's not on iTunes, the hassle of having to purchase it somewhere else and then wait for its arrival usually means its not worth the it.
