From our front-page news:
First they broke it off with iTunes and then they kicked YouTube to the curb. Now though, NBC have made progress on something that might actually benefit you... free shows! Although it's been known about for a while, NBC Direct has just launched with a fair amount of shows available for download and also for online streaming.
At this time, only the current seasons worth of shows are included, and from what it appears, not everything has made it on the site. Not everything is downloadable either, and no, you cannot copy the video to any computer you please. If there are huge downsides right now, it would be a few browser incompatibilities and the absolute lack of service for those who reside outside of the USA.

As of right now, only shows from the current season are available to watch and there aren’t that many to choose from if you want to download a full episode to your computer. Shows available for download include the previous episodes of Bionic Woman, Friday Night Lights, 30 Rock and The Office and even more are available for online viewing but not download. It’s almost certain that further selections will be added in the future.
