No. Everyone wanted to get rid of both the cable bundle and channels. People just want on-demand access to whatever shows.

For cheap ^

If someone finds themselves chasing whatever streaming service has The Office, maybe it's worth dropping the $300 or whatever for everything on iTunes.

iTunes regularly has sales on The Office complete series for $30. Someone who chases a single show through streaming services is not doing it right.

They're still DRM'd. I can't use them in VLC.

And once again, you aren’t a potential customer. Do you really think that streaming companies are going to live an die by the people who want to use VLC?
