With a little forward planning, it's a lot easier just to schedule your PC to record a series of programmes you want, and burn them to DVD or store on hard drive. Doesn't help if you miss something, though, as you then have to wait for the series to be repeated, or go buy the DVD. At least the DVD is likely to be cheaper, or of comparable cost, to buying every episode of a series on iTunes, in much higher quality, and enjoyable using any standard DVD player rather than getting stung by iTunes' DRM (presuming that these shows will be protected in this way) iPlayer is good, despite it being lower quality and with me having to watch it in streaming mode as I'm on a Mac. If only it could be expanded. Yep, usual case of being ripped off.
