The issue for me isn't whether or not I'd pay to see the shows (I probably wouldn't), it's that I just don't want to watch the show on their schedule. NBC finally got mostly smart and actually hosts some of their shows to watch online, but, being the paranoid hobags that they are, don't do any caching... So, sure, I don't mind that every ten minutes I get watch part n of a n part commercial (it's actually refreshing from the normal ADHD of commercials), what I mind is that every ten seconds the damn thing pauses because either mine or their connection isn't up to literally streaming that much data.
