itunes for TV shows

[sprauncey1]

Ok so DH is an adamant anti-apple guy, but with our limited American TV over here and the price we are soon going to have to pay for cable (mostly Arabic and some British/American) I am trying to weed out all the possibilities.

We have Amazon Prime but streaming videos here is painful and a lot of the time useless. We are just too slow of internet to handle the video size. We can download but it takes a while but then at least we wouldn't have to watch 2 seconds then wait for 15 more to buffer 2 more seconds while we painfully watch.

So I hear about people watching TV from itunes and was wondering if this was downloaded videos or just streaming (or both). We can download videos and such from Amazon, but itunes seems to be the one with the latest shows and so I am curious about that. DH and I have become hopelessly addicted to Big Bang Theory and are about all caught up now.

Oh and for those that don't know...

We are a military family stationed in Kuwait City for two years. It is a job through the Embassy here but also still USAF. It is amazing and crazy here, but we do miss certain things from home (TV shows)! And mail. Reliable mail. Customs agents here are on strike so we don't know when our stuff that I ordered 2 weeks ago will arrive. At least we get mail. The Embassy workers in Iraq don't get any since November!
