I think it's good of all these companies to start encorporating playback of different formats, because downloading TV shows is a popular thing. The last few months when they were on I was downloading about 7 or 8 shows a week - purely because they won't be shown on TV here for ages. I know that BBC2 just started to show series 2 of Rome, which ended a while back, and I think they only just recently began showing Greys Anatomy and House, despite those having ended in the US already.
