Well I Downloaded the player to check it out.* Pro Free Content* Con The show is only available for 7 days from release weather its been downloaded or not. If you begin watching it it will only be available for 48hours. This is where Itunes or Torrents are superior. I travel a lot and keep a collection of unwatched TV shows just for flights and hotel nights.
Or they could offer m4p video files (DRM QuickTime MPEG4), which, btw, also works in Windows since both operating systems have QuickTime/iTunes available).
It doesn't play inside of IE - it looks like a standalone program but probably uses IE (and WMP) in the background. IE Tab isn't applicable.You could probably install it in IE tab if you just can't stand to click on the IE icon.
Could there be a worse time to launch this service? When the Internet is abuzz about how the writers of our favorite shows won't see a dime from these downloads if the studios get their way, NBC decides to "go live?"What do they expect to happen?
