Yes I think that whats sucks too

Not for everyone and can't be used on PC like NFS4 said

It would be sweet if they would offer up their shows worth watching.

all of the different Law & Order series episodes
Survivor
The Amazing Race
The Apprentice (Martha & Donald)
Ghost Whisperer

These shows are just a few I would pay for between those two networks.

Most people don't though, most people want TV on their TV...not on their iPod or their computer. I like the idea (although I'd prefer if it wasn't tied to service providers, those without Comcast or DirecTV are out of luck), but I have a DVR already, so there is little incentive to pay for this.

If it's not in HD, I'm not interested.

NBC needs to bring Scrubs back.

No, it really isn't.

Hours after they air, they'll push the shows onto the DirecTV DVR automatically, where you'll be able to watch them for 99 cents. Or, you could simply set the DVR to record the show, but have to put up with commercials. Either way it takes up space on the DVR, no matter if you want it there or not.

So unless you plan on getting DirecTV, hooking the DVR up to your computer, you'll still need a TV.

Between Tivo and Netflix, I'm all set, thank you very much.

Ripped from TVguide.com

SCRUBBING IN: NBC is now confirming what TVGuide.com first hinted at back in July: Zach Braff's real-life girlfriend, Mandy Moore, will appear in two episodes of NBC's Scrubs as "a klutzy love interest" for Braff's J.D. It's not clear when Moore's arc will air since, well, it's not clear when Scrubs will air. Eh, minor details.
