Yeah, but it's worth it. $8/month for automated downloading of pretty much every TV show and most movies, usually within a few days of the official release (if you want release quality). Also it maxes out your downstream bandwidth instantly, unlike torrents. I have a gig pipe and the most I've ever seen on a well seeded torrent was about 50-60% of my downstream bandwidth.
