(granted, not that it's hard to bypass, but still - irritating that they can be so god-awesome and most other tv channels here can suck. Except NBC. Downloadable Heroes eps ahoy - AND a graphic novel to boot. yas!) | |

The iMP trial is over, no talk of any official launch, but it was heavily DRMed and programmes expired after a short time. | |

I'd be happy with DRM, if the service didn't suck baws.
Say, like, iTunes.
Hurry up, Apple. | |
