How to get TV content for the iPod Video

The iPod is currently the major music player of the mp3 era. Although competitors, such as Microsoft with the Zune, are trying to compete for part of the market for iPods, there are no signs that Apple is gonna let the iPod franchise to lose power, at least in the near future. Apple is always launching improved products, and much more importantly, integrating the iPod into everything, from cars to athletic shoes.

The latest incarnation of the iPod introduced the capacity of playing video. Music videos, video clips, and TV programs are examples of the type of content you get to play in your iPod. If you have an iPod video, you literally have the opportunity of watching hours of entertaining videos. In this page, I will show you what types of videos you can get to play in your iPod.

The best place to start looking for videos to play in the iPod is certainly the iTunes store. But, certainly, this is not the only place, as I wil show latter.

The iTunes store is the Apple's secret for the success of iPod. One can quickly find videos for the iPod with the help of iTunes, ranging from sports events to the latest music videos.

iTunes charges for the number of downloads, and most videos are priced similarly (the same way they do with music). You pay a flat tax for each video and you can watch it in the iTunes, in the iPod, or in any computer that has your license code. There is, however, a restriction on the number of computers where you can present your video.

The selection of videos is always changing, and Apple is working hard to add new videos every month, at least. They recently signed Disney, the company that is partly controlled by Steve Jobs, to distribute Hollywood movies through the iTunes store.

First you will get video clips for many of the major singers and bands. Each download is 1.99, and you have a wide selection of singers.

Similarly, you can get TV videos to see in your iPod. Award-winning TV programs are being distributed for the iPod, as for example the Daily Show, with John Stewart.

Finally, you can get some of the latest Hollywood movies in the video format, to be watched on the iPod. You can download them for around $15, and they will provide you with lots of fun during travels and long waits.

The iTunes stores is not the only option you have in this area. You can also get videos for your iPod

from other sources. I will mention here some of the most successful alternative stores in the Internet.

The Unlimited download center website is a distributor of legal video files in the iPod format. They provide an unlimited amount of content to subscribers, for a fixed monthly fee. It is a great service, and you get a lot of good stuff, such as TV series, music shows, and sport events.

The YourIpodMovies service is similar to the previous one. It has 100 million files available for free download, once your become a member. They also have somebonuses, such as software to transfer video files from DVD to the iPod, tutorials, and free support.

FeedMyiPod is a video download service that you can also use to get files for your iPod. It Has a lot of music files, complete movies, TV Shows, and sports events. It is a very complete web site, and can certainly satisfy the needs of most iPod users.
