Paranoid Marvin Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Apple has finally started selling TV programmes on iTunes in the UK, quite a long time after they began in the States, admittedly. iTunes users in the UK can now download a selection of TV programmes, ranging from Lost, Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives to Kim Possible and South Park. Prices are £1.89 for one episode (that's $3.81 at the current exchange rate), not too much to ask, but still more expensive than the American equivalent. There is, at least, a bit of a saving when you buy the whole series of a TV programme. Ugly Betty, Season 1, costs £32.99 on iTunes and the RRP for the DVD boxset is £40.00. At the moment, the selection is limited. It will be interesting to see if British TV companies like ITV or BBC jump onboard, as it is all American at the moment. The one thing we are all waiting for, however, is Apple to start selling films on the iTunes store over here!

Sabr Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Yeah, films would be pretty cool. I'm not much of a TV person myself, but I'd buy the odd film or two every now and again.

I'm sure you *buy* the odd film or two now and again but I bet you watch a whole lot more Me personally, I don't like the idea of paying almost the same for something which is stuck in my HDD and is probably of a lower quality than a DVD. And there always the issues of taking it over to a mates place. I don't think I would ever want to buy tv shows or movies over iTunes.

REVENGE Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I wish that someday, after the end of HD disc format wars, we could have DVD quality movies downloaded for low cost, and purchase HD quality movies on disc instead. Would seem like a fair compromise. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/62001-tv-on-itunes-goes-british/#findComment-440120 Share on other sites More sharing options...
