I've got an Apple TV on order and I'd like the iTunes Movie Store to be in place when it arrives here in Scotland. The trouble with on-line TV is that there are too many competing players coming out of the woodwork, and some of them PC only (ie Channel 4's 4OD).

I fear that all we'll get in Europe (at least for some considerable time) is all the American stuff already on the US store and nothing more local. Interesting developments though. Jon Good! I’ve got an Apple TV on order and I’d like the iTunes Movie Store to be in place when it arrives here in Scotland. The trouble with on-line TV is that there are too many competing players coming out of the woodwork, and some of them PC only (ie Channel 4′s 4OD).

“Trustees said the BBC needed to be clearer about which programmes would be offered on this service – but suggested “landmark” series “with a beginning and end”, like Planet Earth or Doctor Who (!), should be eligible. ”

However they seem to be using their own ‘iPlayer’. Mac compatible? Apple TV compatible? Who knows. But I doubt you’ll see Dr Who on iTunes any time soon!! I fear that all we’ll get in Europe (at least for some considerable time) is all the American stuff already on the US store and nothing more local.

Interesting developments though.
