It's an interesting phenomenon. I thought I was crazy for paying to download Season 1 of Heroes on iTunes. But it's nice high-quality video that I can watch on my own time, as often as I want. I guess there's something to be said for that.

So perhaps it's time we gave this phenomena a name: buyshifting. We'll use that to refer to broadcast TV programming that you don't just watch -- you buy or rent. - http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/04/ins-and-outs-is-buyshifting-the-future-of-television-part-1/
