Maybe Apple figure tv will be something of the past in years to come. Why need a tuner when you can get the latest shows off iTMS? I figure Apple will have iTMS only shows in the future, like rare or before-tv release shows. They've scared the record companies witless. I could imagine the tv and movie studios will be a little worried too. Seeya Rod!
