I tried the first tv episode free offer, picked an episode of Star Trek TOS, and downloaded the Amazon client. After it installed I was working on some other stuff so wasn't paying attention when it initially run. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was automatically downloading the episode I had "purchased" (free) and I, unlike the author of the article, was quite impressed with the video quality. The only negative thing I noticed was the volume level seemed quite low... The potential to rent videos through this service seems quite enticing to me as well.
