New way to catch TV shows you miss

Is TiVo too expensive for you? Is taping missed shows a hassle? Are you looking for a new way to catch TV shows you miss?

Well, if you answer yes to any of these I might have a solution for you. Apple has partnered up with ABC to sell TV edpisodes after they air. After the broadcasting of a show, the show would be downloadable from Apple. I presume they would release the epidsodes through iTunes. It would only be 99 cents per song. Cheap and easy. Apple has always been known for their ease of use which they continue with this idea. The spinwheel on iPods is a great example.

NBC and CBS have done the same with DirectTV and Comcast.

I see this as the start of a new trend. This will be the new way to catch all missed TV shows in the future. Not only the shows on ABC, CBS, and NBC, but I think all TV shows will be avabilable in this way in the near future.
