  • Cost - As a result of the above I often delete videos after I have watched them. I am not paying for something that I treat as disposible
  • Not all shows are out here and the ones that are can often be subjects of delays from the States. As a fan of The Wire, I used to have to wait until the DVD release. Months after it finished broadcasting on HBO. Why wait that long?
I wait until a show is shown here legally.It's irritating yes but I'd rather be on the right side of the law.

Though I do understand the annoyance when certain channels arbitrarily stop showing a series midrun or won't air any following future series.Though invariably the series do get taken up by other channels.I was peeved mightily about House in that respect but thanks to Sky 1 and now Hallmark I can see him still.
