iTunes or Virgin 1?

So my wife’s getting into Chuck on Virgin 1. It’s also available on iTunes. However, neither is entirely satisfactory.

Virgin 1: 4:3, not widescreen; edits for violence; ad breaks
iTunes: fuzzier picture; £1.89 an episode

So should we go with iTunes for widescreen, all the content and greater convenience or Virgin 1, with a better picture and lower price?

Pinky's Mom I watched this show first run back in the 80s. Surprisingly arch and intelligent, it held me with its graphic-novel style storytelling. Little on TV appealed to me back then, and that fact hasn't...
