macworld.co.uk— Yet more TV-related shows have debuted on iTunes in the US, this time from HBO's globally successful series, 'The Sopranos' along with other HBO shows such as 'Big Love', 'Rome' and 'Entourage'.

But will it have commercials? When you buy CBS content on Comcast OnDemand, you have to pay a dollar for an hour episode **AND** you have to sit through about 20 minutes worth of CBS commercials while you're at it!I would pay a dollar to download the show, but not more. I already pay for cable so a penny over a buck would be a deal breaker for me.
As soon as I read the title, I opened iTunes and was about to buy the episode of Sopranos from last night, but then I read a little more carefully...But seriously, I think HBO could make a killing through iTunes, probably better than any other network because I'm sure there are a lot of people who really just want to see 1 show on HBO (like Sopranos) and don't feel like getting a subscription just for that show. Even though it might not be any different cost-wise in the long run, its just convenient..
Actually Showtime tends to show more softcore porn than HBO.. HBO does documentaries on risque topics (i.e. Real Sex series, Taxi Cab Confessions...), these stories arn't really for sole "adult entertainment" but also to educate/inform.
Have you ever seen commericals during a show on HBO???I would love to see this... i would pay 3 or 4 bucks an episode rather than buying the DVD's to watch once and probably never again.

A bit misleading.It's actually just "Sopranos-related program activities."

Isn't it about time they changed the name to iMedia or something to that effect??? No longer just music.

Oh man, totally. I'm not exaggerating when I say that The Wire might be the best series ever made for television, ever EVER.
