I feel news videos should be avaliable for ree downloads after a week i would suggest.

I would invest in something like this. Having on-the-fly TV watching capabilities would be cool to have. All you would need to do is pay a monthly fee of like $10 a month, and be able to watch any station that doesn't require an additional fee.

I would like to do that with the Discovery Channel or the news. Just an easier way to access them and what-not.

What would be really cool is if you get the choice to watch that show at a later time from when it aired, with no commercials.

If the 'channels' (i.e discovery, abc, sci-fi et al) offered their content online for the price that they charge the cable companies to carry them (or even a few bucks more for extra profit) to the general public then I could ditch cable all together. Spend 5 bucks per channel to get the content commercial free online direct from whateverchannel.com/programs/nameoftvshow and choose a season and an episode...

thats REALLY where we need to be headed. PLace the cable providers into a new game where they are merely conduits to services instead of the services themself!

Such a service could also enable users to at heavy traffic areas to download paid content via a kiosk terminal hub. That for example could mean while waiting for your next flight or train that you could interact with a kiosk terminal which could be paid by advertising sponsorship and keep those travellers occupied while there flight is delayed.
