The ability to download television programmes from the internet (legally) is hotting up, slowly. Unfortunately we’re heading fast in the direction of DRM, low-resolution and region-enforcement.
So, very quickly here’s what I’d like. When a series starts on TV, let me go to the publisher’s website and pre-order the series box-set DVD. Then, for the duration of the run on tele, let me download the episodes that have been broadcasted. Perhaps release some extras, out-takes, behind the scenes gubbins as we go along too.
At the end of the series run, send me the DVD box set in the post.
Give the benefit of downloading, without losing out on DVD/HD-DVD/Blu-Ray quality.
