Notes

• In September 2007, Apple and NBC Universal canceled their deal to host all NBC related content on iTunes -- including Battlestar Galactica and Eureka. Instead, NBC signed a deal with Amazon to be included in the online retailer's Unbox service.
• The Amazon Unbox video downloads are tagged with "defectivebydesign" because of its Digital Rights Management protection schemes.
