NBC Direct Launches With Free Downloads

Posted by kdawson on from the tv-for-some dept.

thefickler writes "It's here, and it's no joke. NBC has launched NBC Direct where most shows can be watched online and some shows are available for full episode downloads. This comes after NBC decided to pull out of iTunes." For now it's Windows only, XP or Vista, IE 6 or 7.

    Sorry, but here, in France, i read "MUST RESIDE WITHIN THE U.S." on the NBC.com page.
    I don't want to use Microsoft Windows, I don't want to use MSIE, I don't want to use Windows Media Player, I don't want to live in a country that have secretive prisons with no applicable rules because of a president who used the same trick than Cole in season one finale.

    So I must pay for viewing Heroes S02 (with 24 hours late but subtitles in French and no ads at all, ok, that worth it for my poor English skills...).
