Apple: 200m TV episodes sold, 1m in HD

Apple issued a press release today saying over 200 million television episodes have been purchased through the iTunes store, one million of them in high definition.

High definition episodes have been available since Apple's "Let's Rock" event on September 9. That averages out to over 27,000 HD downloads per day.

The press release also said the iTunes store is offering America's four major networks' fall prime-time lineup in HD for the first time.

Apple was a little late to the HD download game, however. The Xbox 360 introduced HD via Xbox Live way back in November of 2006.
