Digital Home Thoughts: NBC Direct Allows Free Downloaded Content

"NBC Direct is definitely powered by DRM and ad-powered software, so if you're not cool with that, well, you probably know a few other places to look (like, er, Hulu). But if you dig the idea of subscribing to, and downloading higher-quality videos of your favorite NBC shows, it's not a bad way of getting them guilt-free."

If they allow free downloading of content, I'm OK with the ads, and the DRM to the extent that it does not make the service difficult to use. Hulu is great, but only when you have an Internet connection. The downside - Windows only, and looks like no support for other mobile devices.
