when does season 5 of sons of anarchy start on apple tv?

This is an epic fail. I have been cashing in my coins at the Coinstar in exchange for iTunes gift cards all summer specifically for the purpose of getting the Sons of Anarchy season pass on my Apple TV. Coinstar offers Amazon gift cards as well. This really stinks. It seems every month Apple finds a new way to disappoint me and make me regret making the switch.

A year ago I had an Android phone, a Logitech Revue w/Google TV, an Archos 101 Android tablet and a Google Chromebook. My wife and I decided in February to make the whole hearted switch and get iPhones, Apple TV, an iPad and we were getting close to having the cash for a MacBook Pro.

Oh regrets..............

It's actually not on Amazon either. Also, Xfinitytv.com has informed that FX shows won't be streaming any longer, even though Wilddred still is. This might be bigger issue with FX online content. I hope whatever the issue is that it is soon resolved because FX has some of my favorite shows. I assume that at the latest once SOA5 is on DVD it will be on Itunes and Amazon as well.

It's on Amazon. You have to go to the Video on Demand section to purchase/search. I bought it there yesterday.

I found it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0099JL0CA/ref=atv_dp_season_select?ie=UTF8&red irect=true

until we figure out this iTunes snafu, you can download the premier from amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0099JM4DY/ref=atv_dp_season_select?ie=UTF8&redirect=true… http://say.ly/jVj49ZF

Thanks... Amazon needs to make their site easier for me to find stuff like this. I went to amazon.com and searched Sons of Anarchy season 5 and it didn't come up. Hopefully they make things easier in the future. Thanks again everyone!

The billing difference at Amazon is kind of nice, they charge (minus a 5% discount, I think, for season pass) when the episode is released, instead of all up front, same money in the long run, but the 2.34 (or whatever) for the HD show hurts less when it is once a week.

I know it, I've had to provide that link to about a dozen people in the last 24 hours. I should be getting a percentage!

Props to you Sir. Your stuff is brilliant to begin with, but to comment here only shows how much you care about the fans.

this is another battle in the proxy war the cable companies (time warner, comcast) are waging against apple, amazon and netflix, etc. they want to bully us into outrageous basic cable subscriptions. they use content providers like hbo and fx to stop providing their content to these alternative methods of distribution so they will sop loosing cable subscribers. Well the only one losing here is fox because all that is going to happen is people will download this stuff illegally or wait for dvd and Netflix, which is what I will do.

I am not going to be bullied back into dish or cable services, to subsidize stupid channels that I don’t watch. The future is on demand and that is where my money is going to go. Period. Time warner, Comcast you are going down eventually.

Oh. That's a twitter C & P from Sutter's feed. Sorry for any confusion.

I do think he is very good with his fan dedication, though. Some slam him, but I think he's in earnest.

Sadly Amazon is not a very good solution. I want to watch on my TV not a tiny screen. Do Amazon downloads play thru AppleTV?

No. But through Roku. And I believe through other gaming systems. Kind of like Netflix (without the appletv option)

XBox 360. But personally I actually went out and bought a 25ft HDMI cable to run from my computer to the TV to avoid these types of problems.

But by the same token, it was a pain to move my computer station in the family room in order to accomplish this.

That's dedication! Totally worth it...
