That's $50 a season. I watch about 5 shows not in reruns and probably another 7 to 10 in syndication. Figuring 15 shows, that'd be $750/yr for the shows I watch, or about $62.50 a month. I pay less than that for cable, plus I have access to all the shit I don't watch regularly. Someone's gonna have to come up with a better business model.
Not only that, but $1.99 for 320x240 versions of television shows? What's my incentive to pay?
