iTunes has done a pretty good job of offering most tv shows. The problem though is they are $2 an episode. This adds up pretty quick if you want a whole season or multiple seasons. the music industry figured out the sweet spot on pricing songs so that people found it more convenient to buy music legally than to spend hours downloading, converting, and transferring it. If Studios and TV providers would figure out how to get their prices down, most pirating would go away. I think the magic number would be $100 a month for a package that includes 4 TVs, the typical standard channel package, and HBO.

That's why I referenced Apple and iTunes finding what the market would bear at .99 cents. Apple does a lot of things right, but I don't find iTunes easy to work with. You are right on about downloading, converting and transferring. There are workarounds but it's a pain in the ass. The MPAA and all the studios are trying to hold onto this with a death grip wherever they can.
