Lionsgate wants to propose a similar function in partnership with the iTunes Store.
They intend to propose with their titles Blu-ray and HD-DVD a code which will make it possible that when the digital version is bought at the online Apple Store, that they will be also able to view it as well on the Apple TV a iPod.
