AOL, which already has one of the largest video libraries on the Internet, is in discussions with broadcast and cable networks about allowing their content on its site, says Kevin Conroy, AOL's executive in charge of video strategy. He wouldn't elaborate further. AOL will allow downloads to personal computers and would like to enable people to use its service to interact with Apple Computer's popular iTunes site if Apple will permit it, he says.AOL could offer Time Warner content from HBO, WB, TNT, TBS and the Cartoon Network to name a few.

Media reviewers, bloggers and users complain that selections are skimpy and hard to find. Strict usage rules which prevent prime-time shows from being viewed offline, aren't prominently identified, and some shows promised initially aren't there.Part of the reason the Google's video offerings have not been well received is because some people been expecting a Google PC device to launch. Google does have a deal with CBS to sell episodes but it may take them a while to catch iTunes which was the first out of the gate and has already sold 8 million videos since October according to USA Today.
