I think many of you will really enjoy this new site. I'm currently watching the first season of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

I've been on it since near the start of it's Beta.

It's a pretty good site, but it's missing a couple of BIG things

One, you can't "buy" content and you have to play the content in a web browser. I want to be able to watch video where I want using the device I choose.

Two, they only keep X episodes of a current season available at a time. If you want to go back further, you have to wait for next season and hope they show the previous season.

Other than that, It's a great site and I watch something almost every day

I can buy episodes of AHP for 1.99 each or with pepsi points it looks like...unless your "buy" meant something else.

Yes, my "Buy" is getting a downloadable media file I can play on my iPod Touch, Apple TV, Archos Video Player, Zune, etc when I want. No "phone home" to make sure I'm still "Authorized" and no DRM.

Most of the Buy options are Amazon UnBox or other heavily DRM'd downloads which make it almost impossible to play on devices they cannot authorize.

Hulu is good for me to watch shows, but if I want to watch on my TV without some elaborate PC Media center hookup, It's a pain.

I am not saying it is a BAD service. I just think it is lacking something that would make it a "goto" service for me.
