Actually, since the only show I like on cable is Battlestar Galactica (and even that is treading on thin ice with its weak 2nd season). And Comca$t has horrible picture quality for the SciFi channel, and is about to up their rates again (7% or so).
So, with this new legal option, I can pitch my cable TV! I'll save about $250 - $300 a year by downloading just the shows I like, rather than pay for the collosal wasteland of cable every month.
The video iPod has a 320x240 display. Consider that in your choice.
