Question about iTunes
 Hi.  I just got a video iPod, and I was disappointed to find out that iTunes doesn't have House anymore!  What happened?  Will they have it again, when the new episodes start?  Is there anywhere else I can safely and legally download episodes?

A while back, NBC/Universal decided to end their deal with Apple in preparation for their own solution, Hulu.com. At Hulu.com you can watch some season four House episodes (with commercials), but you can't download them.

Amazon.com also offers House as a video download via their Unbox service. They only have season four, and Unbox does not work with iPods.

Sorry! As a fellow iPod user, I was really disappointed too. :(

That sucks.

I've heard scary things about Unbox messing up peoples' computers, so I'm scared to try it, and if it doesn't work with the iPod, well, what's the point, right?

It's a shame. iPods and iTunes really are so user-friendly.

Thanks for the info!

I've had ZERO trouble from Unbox with their downloads and I've done it at least twenty times. I guess you should take an iPod owner's word about the compatibility, though. Oh, well.

Unbox has ALL the seasons. I know, I've downloaded the eps!

You can always buy the DVDs and use something like Handbrake to put them on your iPod.

Yes, I've heard there's a way to put stuff from your DVDs onto iPod. I'll look into it.

Thanks!

House is on Amazon Unbox (go to Amazon.com). You can buy the eps and download them, or download entire seasons. I can't justify kicking down $40 for the DVDs, so I pay for 3 or 4 single eps every week at a little less than $2 a pop. I don't own anything like an iPod (if I can't afford the DVDs...) but I *think* you cand download special files that you can put on your iPod.

Thanks, I'll have to do some research. I've always loved Amazon. It's just I've heard some things about the software causing problems. Some people have had problems, some haven't. I'll have to look into it more!

Thanks again for your comments!
