I actually don't think this does save any money. I'm pretty sure at our buisness if a customer pays for something with a credit card, we have to pay the credit card company 3% of the purchase price. Well 3 percent of a dollar three times, is the same as 3% of 3 dollars, so it really doesn't matter if it is a bunch of single 99cents purchases are one big purchase.
Apple TV is not a DVR so they don't really compare at all.
