Universal is now distributing its TV shows through the iTunes Store in the UK. Universal’s content was added to the store last night (UK time).

Universal is bringing some well-known hit TV shows that are currently airing on UK television, including: Heroes (Season Two), House, Eureka, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and The Incredible Hulk.
