I watched the final few episodes of DayBreak, legally from ABC.com after the show was canceled. It was fairly good download quality and had maybe 3 20-second commercials in each episode, I think done in Flash.
Remember that offering downloads can not only have advertising, they also ARE advertising, bringing folks to your site and promoting the shows.

Bert,I just went to ABC.go.com and found episodes of Ugly Betty, a show I never catch due to my job, but I watched it once and found very good.The beginning of each clip says "Brought to you with limited commercial interruption by Smirnoff" and there is a Smirnoff banner on the screen the entire time the episode is playing.This would appear to me to be both a means to get some incremental revenue, and also to combat unauthorized posting on sites such as YouTube.John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways:- Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
