I'll watch some things once and that will be enough for most content. Some I'll watch, and then purchase, either because it's a film I want to rewatch at some point (or there are DVD extras worth having), or a TV Show that I might want to sit down and watch over a weekend in one go, and I haven't invested in sKY+ box or Tivo. For instance, occasionally my missus and I will sit down and watch 3 or 4 episodes of Buffy or Angel to relax while we look after our son, and we know it well enough that it doesn't matter if he's screaming half of the time! I think there's different financial models which are more applicable to TV, and I'll try and outline them tonight... I’m in the middle I guess.
