Finally, finally, finally, TV on iTunes Australia

June 24, 2008 | 1 Comment | Joshua Gans

The Australian iTunes Music Store has finally got itself some TV shows. There is quite a bit of stuff from Channel 9, the Disney Channel, MTV and, of course, the ABC (not just Australia but the US so Lost is there). Episodes are $2.99 making them considerably more expensive than ones in the US (which sell for $1.99). But at the very least that makes having a Video iPod, iPod Nano, iPod Touch, Apple TV or iPhone much more sensible. Previously, only music videos and podcasts were there. It is still pretty sparse and you had better have a good broadband limit otherwise it will be chewed up quickly but maybe this is an alternative to the raft of illegal downloads.

    iinet don’t count downloads from iTunes in your download limit so they’re an excellent ISP to use if you plan to buy a large amount of content. I’m not sure if other Australian ISPs can offer the same.

    It may end up more cost effective to pay for content than bit torrent illegal downloads that use up your download limit.
