The content publishers are facing a fundamental issue here: the
infrastructure to support their Digital Restrictions Management is
far more complex than the product it is restricting, meaning that
the user experience (even on supported platforms) is bad.
I like the way Cisco Press is doing their eBooks (not quite the same
thing as TV catch-ups, i know): when i buy an ebook, i get a
DRM-free PDF or ePUB file with my name in it as a watermark. And
the books are pretty cheap, too. Gives me lots of incentive to buy
from them over their competitors, and i know that the files are
going to work with whatever device i care to put them on.
