Quickie question on episodes online via CW's website

[Binker]

How long does it take for the episodes of Smallville to appear on CW's website? "Toxic" is up now, but I don't know when after that aired that they posted it up. Any idea?

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

I think they go up on Friday morning sometime

 

[triplet]

Yeah, too bad I can't watch them... Never have figured out why my computer hates The CW video player.



iTunes works very well for me, however.

 

[christhn]

It seems kind of random to me. Sometimes they're not up for days.

 

[Prison Mike]

i like iTunes more

 

[Sam Fisher]

The video quality on CW's webiste is ****.

 

[Morg]

Have yet to watch any new episodes, those morons won't fix the closed captions

What's wrong with the closed captions?

That sucks...

The CW generally sucks anyway, so it's not surprising, but I'm sorry for you that they're not getting the CC done right.

I like iTunes too. But they have failed to put up last week's episode, Bulletproof, and the only answer they can give me is that they are investigating it.

I think its a conspiracy with The CW. They dont want Smallville to beat Gossip Girl.

The Amazon Video On Demand has last week's Smallville & Supernatural episodes & every other new non CW episode has their newest episode up on Itunes. So yeah this is definitely a CW problem. Plus Amazon is sort of better just due to the fact that their DRM Protected WMVs play on the XBOX 360 with no problem. Even last weeks Supernatural episode is missing from Itunes & I have a Season Pass for that. So it is not just Smallville

CW can't even make their videos on their site "real" widescreen. So if you have a WS moniter like me, you'll be watching a square box.

I don't use Amazon because I can't copy them to my ipod.

All I know is if The CW is trying to cut their ties with Itunes & if tonights episodes does not get uploaded tomorrow & last weeks as well then I shall give Itunes hell

I have an iTunes season pass too. I'm in Australia, but because I have a U.S. iTunes accounts I can buy things from that iTunes store. However, Amazon wont let me watch any of their online downloads regardless, because they can detect I'm not in the U.S.

All I know is if The CW is trying to cut their ties with Itunes & if tonights episodes does not get uploaded tomorrow & last weeks as well then I shall spam Itunes email until I get refunded for my Season Pass

When I first bought my Season Pass you couldnt buy the episodes in HD .... during the break they seemed to have upgraded the episodes to HD. That makes me mighty mad.

I guess we will find out tomorrow if The CW is trying to get out of their Itunes contract or whatever crap they are trying to pull

Hmm....

Here's the answer I got back from iTunes:

Typically, Cindy, it's up to the supplier to provide iTunes with the latest episodes. Therefore if it is not listed in iTunes then there could be a delay on that end. As soon as it is provided to us, we will post it! Keep checking!

Bastards... passing the buck back to Warner's.

It got on Amazon though the day after it aired. Something else is a foot quick to the Batmobile !!!!!

It probably is Warners fault and iTunes customer service is very good, going by my past experiences with them.

This is very frustrating though. I had to go looking elsewhere last week, and I'm really not a big fan of doing that.

I got a credit on my amazon account for some reason, some sort of promotion good through the end of the month, and I was going to use it to try and buy it on Amazon, but it never downloaded...

Probably just as well, since I'm not sure I want to load another program onto my laptop...

It's aging poorly.

I got Legion from Amazon the day after it aired to compare it with Itunes the files are bigger lol but looks a little better as well. The thing I do not like about Amazon is you have to pay weekly for the new episodes instead of one big payment which is easier to do

 

[Sam Fisher]

I don't think it's really itune's fault. Their customer service is excellent.

it's messed up or no CC, sent several complaints to CW but no respond from the idiots

 

[Webhead2006]

oh man that sucks you guys. Though i dont get the episodes online from amazon/itunes/cw website. I just watch the episode live and tape it on vhs to watch again when i want to. Plus i know some other sites i can watch things online if i wanted to watch an episode online.

 

[triplet]

Bulletproof still isn't up on iTunes and neither is Power, but I'm not sure I want to pay for that episode anyway...



Wow...

I'm not sure how I'm going to get a review out of me for that one.

 

[Sam Fisher]

t's stupid that the two episodes they don't get are the ones I missed.
