FYI, there are a few shows but they are mostly crappy CBC shows that you can watch for free on your TV and rabbit ears. The only American shows so far are the ones licensed through Comedy Central.

There is one thing that Apple can do to save its fast sinking itunes video business in my point of view. That is to start movie rentals and may be a subscription service too.

The thing is video is different from audio as Steve himself said. You can listen to a song a thousand times and still wanna listen to it more, but you can never watch a movie more than two or three times. So there is no point at all in selling $10 – $15 movies because people always have a way to get them for free. Good karma here doesn’t prevail. The only thing that prevails here is a good bargain as as for me the itunes movie and video store is anything but a good bargain.

Apple, you need to act now.

If it’s anything like the UK iTunes store, it’ll be no homegrown tv shows at all, just American tv shows that no one has heard of and all at a ludicrously expensive price. I was eagerly awaiting the launch of TV Shows on iTunes UK, but when it finally came earlier this year, it was a bitter disappointment. I’m not the only one who felt this way and continue to do so. The comments on the store listings are still packed full of complaints.

I hope our fellow commonwealth members get a better deal.
