From Monday, viewers of motoring show Fifth Gear can pay £1.50 for "DVD quality" downloads of car reviews.</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/fifthgear.jpg" /><br /><br />There are a <a href="http://www.7digital.com/shops/default.aspx?shop=54&refresh=1&dev">few free samples</a> available (the first ones are always free) and they were very good quality Windows Media 10 videos. I believe that the quality of the free samples should be more than enough to statisfy the TV-series downloaders in the UK. ;)<br /><br />What do you think? Is channel Five showing the way for all the other TV broadcasters? Or, is something still missing from the sales package?
