Unbox vs iTunes video quality

[damnskippy]

Been reading Amazon Unbox reviews but most seem to be rather dated. It seems that the Unbox video is better quality than iTunes from what I can tell. Can anyone here confirm that? I am speaking of the TV shows not movies.

I know I can not transfer the Unbox video to my iPod but that is not a big deal to me. I will be watching these on my computer only and a couple of them I buy the DVD box set as well (hopefully HD).

I am probably going to cancel my satellite because I only watch a few shows with it and get a season pass at Unbox so I am up to date with the couple shows I watch (Stargate and BSG).

for TV shows I tunes uses 640x whatever and Unbox does 720x whatever.. so it's a Bit better resolution, but then you have to take into consideration H264 for the Apple vs. WMV for Unbox.
