Title: buy on iTunes or DVD?
Post by: Cogz on December 15, 2008, 06:20:50 PM
I want to submit a request that benefits myself and a certain segment of the population.

I want to be able to buy episodes of "Shooting Gallery" and "Best Defense" for later viewing on my computer or TV.

I am a single guy and watch VERY little television.  It makes no sense at all for me to spend the $100/mo for me to subscribe to the platinum or other premium packages that have The Outdoor Channel for just two shows.

If there is nothing in the works that will allow me to buy the shows on DVD, iTunes, or let me watch it on something like Hulu, can you please work on this?

Shooting Gallery and Best Defense are (or look like) great shows but I cannot justify $1,000 a year for them.  For that price I could buy a LOT of ammo.

Thanks!

Basic satellite service $20-$25/month plus a-la-carte for about $2/month.

$25-$30 a month with Outdoor Channel...maybe add a TIVO/DVR.

I first heard about the outdoor channel at SHOT, and they said if your provider does not show it ask about it, so I did, and it was available ala carte. Like Rastus said, 2 bucks, that was 10 years ago.

Sounds like you work 2nd shift. I don't even OWN a TV  ;D  I'd like something that let me watch the shows on computer somehow.

that is all right for some,

however I have never seen a show, as I am not able to get the Outdoor Channel here in Aust.

I would love to get it on iTunes  however needs to be available on the Aust iTunes store as well  :D

FWIW, I have been lobbying for a DVD set of The Best Defense to become available this spring after the season has aired. That decision, however, is going to be made wayyyyy above my pay grade.

Well, I do own a TV and my schedule is very flexible (not exclusively 2nd shift).

Admission time:  I am poor and live with my parents.  I do not have control over the TV package and we just recently cut back on our TV package due to finances.

I guess I can contact them about doing outdoor TV ala cart...

Does dish network do that?

looks like this topic is a bit old but has there been any movement. i enjoy the series but am a late comer to the shooting gallery side of things...luckly i have been able to get almost all of the Best defense on DVR but...would love to have DVD opitions as my provider does not let me archive them off of the device. 

any and all info would be appreciated.  ;D

I agree... Outdoor Channel should get connected with iTunes or Hulu. It can only build the brand... Rob MB let us know if there is a contact point for viewers to use to express our support to Outdoor Channel brass for such a huge improvement to the wonderful products they provide..
There was that "suck up"ish enough... just kidding. I am for this 1000%

Good news about Best Defense, but what about the poor, neglected Shooting Gallery?!! Looking for season sets. Or it would be real nice to gather all the Gunsite episodes and put them in a collection. Cowboys deserves to be on dvd too. What is the real story behind the lack of product? And to be honest, "online" episodes don't cut it. I don't want to watch them on my pc, I want a great quality dvd I can watch at home whenever I want.

Thanks!

It would be awesome to get a publisher that would put out the Shooting Gallery, Cowboys, Best Defense/Survival through iTunes, as well as DVD. When each season comes out it could be purchased in season or online by episode which I know would draw in new viewers for the Outdoor Channel. I learned of several good shows from ID and A&E through iTunes. It's also how I found DRTV.

Ok, no, seriously: why isn't this on dvd? Has this question been answered a dozen times already so there is no response? Or is there another reason?

Sorry, I'd just like to know. Your customers are waiting, dying to give you our hard earned money! Don't you want it?

Much credit to OC and the production team. The Best Defense went from air to DVD in amazing time as far as I saw. BDS, I hope, shouldn't be too far behind. And I bet Season 2 of BD won't take long to go to DVD either if they do as they did for season 1.
Title: At Last - Latest Season of Shooting Gallery on Amazon!
Post by: fm451 on June 03, 2010, 10:50:46 PM
Excellent!

The Tenth season (2009) of Shooting Gallery is now available on DVD-R on Amazonl.Com. Also, Best Defense.  Now, if Outdoor Channel/Amazon can see fit to make the other 9 seasons of Shooting Gallery available via DVD-R at some point.  ;D

Picked up the Shooting Gallery dvd, it's great! Here's hoping the rest of the seasons will be out soon.

I don't own a TV but do watch one at work on Wed.  Today I went to Founders Ranch and watch Michael and the crew film for Shooting Gallery...very cool.  Had lunch with Michael and he is just the same in person as on the TV/Net.  Real good time!

So when can we get those on a DVD set?

William in New Mexico.

Itunes of SG and TBD would be great. I put other programs that I like on my pod and watch them at the GYM or in the car etc. The great info and entertainment from these programs would be great.

Agreed! Make SG, BD and other Outdoor Channel shows available via iTunes or Amazon Streaming or other service!
