New NBC Direct Service in Beta: Windows & IE only, no Mac support

It’s being summarized as an “All in all, a thumbs down for NBC Direct”, that’s just what mashable.com have said in their article about the new NBC Direct service that’s just hit Beta.

The bad points are:

• NBC dropped iTunes distribution, so no support for iTunes
• Supports Windows and IE only, so no Mac support
• No mobile device integration
• Current version includes unskippable ads
• Episodes delete automatically after 48 hours

Although on the plus side it is nice to get free downloads of NBC shows for up to 7 days after they aired, and we should see many more features in the future that are not included now…remember it’s still only a beta.
