Same here... I'm guessing they turned that off as their servers seem overwhelmed... Every writer and their brother is downloading a show so they can talk smack...

I'm downloading all of the "that's so raven" as I type.

I think you need QT 7.0.3 to see the videos.
Also there is a lot of traffic, that might be causing problems.

I'm purchasing a show now... ummm... for my girlfriend. I'll report in later. I have a cable modem and it's coming in VERY slow. 20 minutes so far and only 60MB downloaded.

Ugh, it's taking FOREVER!!!

It's about 80% done, but it's been over an hour! I sure hope they iron on the speed issue. I was thinking of picking up the past Lost episodes, but not if it's going to take a full day of downloads.

Well, I finally got it and it worked... I wasn't amazed with the video quality, but am sure it will look fine on the iPod. It's not anywhere near the quality of a movie trailer on Apple's site which was a little upsetting. Who knows what they will have in the future.

I can't get TV show previews to work on my PowerBook or a friend's iMac G4 either.

Anyone know what gives?
