I really, REALLY hope the networks realize that that's what people really want. I'm in the US, and about 2 years ago I quit watching TV in favor of surfing the Internet more. My fellow Arkansans think I'm an idiot, but I think surfing the Internet is more satisfying than staring at a TV, since it's more interactive.

I'm not interested in scheduling my life around a television set. Nor am I interested in scheduling recordings that will make my computer sluggish. Commercials are fine(go to hulu.com to see the perfect way of doing things), but I want to be able to watch what I want, when I want.

This feature has been missing since the iPlayer was set up and is really the only reason i want to use the service. It's all well and good having shows for 7 days but i generally wouldn't get a chance to watch the show i wanted within that time frame.

There was/is a decent service on Virgin cable TV whereby you can watch series - but unfortunately they aren't always the complete or the series you wish to watch... so you may have series 1 and 5 of New Tricks or season 2 of 'New' Dr Who when the last season was season 4 or things along those lines.
