Anybody ever...

dowloaded a TV show off of iTunes? Lacey and I are completely fucking addicted to Battlestar Galactica, and the second half of Season 2 is not available on DVD yet, but are for sale on iTunes (don't get me started on BitTorrent, I'm not going down that road, I already have "found" enough music to make me feel guilty). Anyhow, what I'm curious about is a)the quality of the video, and b)how easily one can set it up to watch on a TV--we're not all the excited by the prospects of sitting around our monitor. Oh, and what about aspect ratio? Are they formatted to play of iPod video players, or can you get a regular dimension picture. OK, that is all.

haven't tried itunes, but I've downloaded several tv shows/movies off of torrent sites like torrentspy.com-

they're usually pretty big files, but play nicely on a laptop before you delete 'em.

I downloaded a BG episode when I missed one, and the quality was reasonable, though not as good as it can be..kinda lower resolution when you expand it to full monitor size. I think I only had it working on the itunes software, I'm not sure it works on non Ipod stuff. But one episode is only $1.99, maybe you can download an episode of SNL or something, and see if you're happy with the quality before downloading an entire season of BG. Which is worth it.

BG is the best series currently playing.
