I can't see paying for an individual episode unless I missed it. I am careful to set my VCR (yup, the VHS kind), for shows I know I'll miss. I would be very disappointed if music and videos went completely digital. I've lost downloaded songs and blown up my iPod more than once. I still like to buy CDs so I have a backup of my songs. I'd rather have a VHS tape to watch in my living room than a digital to watch on my tiny iPod. I can't get over the amount of money people are spending on digital media. If you get a flatscreen TV with Tivo, you then have to pay for the Tivo service. If you're Tivoing, you probably have cable. If you're downloading media, you definitely have high-speed Internet. The monthly fees have to be outrageous! I guess TV just isn't that important to me. I'd rather give PBS money to support quality programming than pay Time Warner half my monthly salary.
