Hey all --

Did my due diligence and searched the crap out of the forums for info regarding the iOS Podcasts app & premium videos. I really dig the fact that with iCloud syncing, I can watch/listen to Giant Bomb stuff on any device and pick it back up on another from the same spot. Problem is, when I attempt to do this with premium videos the app doesn't even attempt to search for new episodes.

I realize that iTunes has a "soft" ban on password-protected podcasts and from other sites I've learned of the copy-paste URL method to get around this. I'm at that point, staring at the generic podcasts thumbnail image with a "www.giantbomb.com/"-ish title. Interview Dumptruck & the Bombcast work great but it'd be awesome to get premium stuff working.

Anyone have any suggestions? I'd prefer to stick with the standard iOS for the syncing reasons listed above, but Downcast could be a last-ditch effort. Let me know, thanks!
