HDTV Downloads Arrive On iTunes

By Duncan Madden

HDTV Downloads Arrive On iTunes

Steve Jobs may be taking a break from steering the Apple juggernaut, but his will is still in force, as his promise last year of HD TV shows coming to the UK iTunes has finally come true.

Available for download in High-Definition now are shows such as Lost series five, at £2.49 per episode or £42 for the entire series. So not cheap then.

We're also assuming that this service won't be offered in Full HD, but rather 720p at the moment.

For anyone unsure whether the extra cost is worth it, there's a free five-minute HD trial available so you can see what it looks like onscreen.

Download sizes are currently huge too - around 3GB an episode, and coupled with the high price, it will be interesting to see if Apple's step into HD will be a success.
