While US viewers are watching LAST YEARS Dr. Who shows on the S-F channel (loaded with ads, banners, overlays etc), internet downloaders are watching THIS YEARS shows, sans interuptions. After getting used to commercial free, banner free, logofree, cut-free 40 minute shows, I'd never go back to cable. Dont know if US versions of BBC show the new eps but I think I still prefer the downloads I can watch whenever I please. Its not just US shows that are delayed.
