Apple is close to confirming a deal with the US cable network HBO to start selling the channel's shows on its iTunes store.
It will be the first time that HBO has made its successful portfolio of shows, such as The Sopranos and Sex and the City, available in electronic form and episodes are likely to be sold at a higher standard price than regular TV shows.
Apple's iTunes store currently charges $1.99 for television episodes available; however the HBO shows may be put on at a higher price which may lead to other media companies pushing to change their digital download prices.
