Customer Reviews
good content, inconsistent delivery
i've watched this from the beginning and its nice to have PBS video content available. My only hangup with the show is that we get little "bytes" and not enough complete material. I've had better luck with other PBS video podcasts - like TERRA for example, which have similar high-quality video content available in greater supply!
Yet another fantastic service from PBS
What a pleasure to be able to download this content to my Mac and video iPod. Nova is truly compelling TV and I'm glad for its exposure to a wider audience. My only complaint is that there is not more content available. If this was a trial run, it succeeded in my opinion--please offer more!
disappointing!
I love Nova. If I could watch it on TV, I would. My heart jumped at the thought of being able to access it this way. To get only a short segment is so disappointing. PBS needs to find a way to create a supporter category that will provide low-cost podcasts of the entire show. I'll read the descriptions in the iTunes Store more carefully next time and won't be fooled this way again.
