Rent a TV show?

If you miss that episode of The Simpsons this fall, you may be in luck, even if you forget to DVR it. Rumors put Apple in talks with Fox, with the reported goal of putting Fox shows on iTunes for rental. If this were to happen, you could “rent” shows for 48 hours, and the shows would be available a day after they originally air.
CBS, NBC and Disney are rumored to be involved in similar discussions, which would make programming available from all of the major broadcast networks. If you don’t like commercials, then this may be for you; the rumors also state that there would be no commercials. Confirmation of this rumor is expected next month, along with news about Apple TV, which would deliver movies and videos to customers’ television sets.
