iPod 8 GB nano question

[andicap]

If I get a new iPod nano (video, the works), are there other ancillary items I would also need to buy in order to download TV shows, etc? Like cords, etc.
And should an iPod I buy in the U.S. work in the U.K., assuming I have the proper voltage converters for the plugs.
By that I mean are there standards issues similar to those involving TV, VCRs, etc.?
31,000 points on my credit card gets me an iPod.

thanks!

Hey Andy, I'm looking into finally giving up my non-Apple mp3 player and going with an ipod. Did you get a look at the ipod touch?

[andicap]

no, this one is "free," the one Mastercard gives me for 31,000 points.

You don't need to purchase anything (other than the tv shows) to play them on an ipod. If you buy them from itunes, they already come in the proper format and you can just sync them with your ipod.

If you are talking about tv shows you have downloaded from torrent sites, you will have to convert them using itunes to get them on the ipod
