$1, $2 or $5 -- how much would you pay to watch TV?
Networks worry that Apple's push to sell shows for $1 an episode will eat into DVD sales. Let's make them an offer they can't refuse (but probably will).

    Do you pay $115 a year for cable? How?

    Comcast's cheapest service in my area is $18 a month, about $20 with taxes and other fees -- $240 per year. Their next cheapest service -- "Standard Cable," the one that most people get -- is $52 per month, $624 per year.

    For $240 a year, I can get 10 full series on iTunes at $23 per. For $624 a year, I can get 27 series -- or, fewer series and an Apple TV.
