What TV shows do you download?

Mr E

---- Don't Post Links, and Don't Ask For Links !!!!! ----

From what I read in this forum, alot of people download US TV shows which either don't appear here for a few months, or never appear here.

What current TV shows do you download?

---- Don't Post Links, and Don't Ask For Links !!!!! ----

I have no real problem waiting for series to appear over here.

I'm really looking forward to the new Dead Like Me series and Smallville. And of course the Farscape mini series.

But all of them will appear at prominent places in the schedules here.

But I'm a big fan of South Park, and that just seems to get buried and shunted around different days. So I've downloaded seasons 5 6 7 and 8.

There are new episodes starting this month.... great stuff....

maxheadroom

Scrubs

fletch

Top Gear

IrishMike

i normally get:
Scrubs
Southpark
Stargate sg1 and atlantis
Lost
Ali G
Conan O Brien

tman

i feel no guilt in doing this, as i'll be first in line for any dvd boxsets they release

Micheal Wittman

Stargate SG1 and Atlantis

malico

Scrubs
Family Guy
Red Dwarf
Dilbert
Jayce and the Whelled Warriors (WHEN i can find them)

and of course,

24

(always fun sayign to other 24 viewers "Oh, back at episode 8. Nah, WAIT till ya see 16!! It'll all make sense then!")


Who's that at the door? Why is there a van outside that says MPAA?

Praetorian

CSI, Enterprise and Scrubs currently.

Farscape miniseries and Battlestar Galactica when they are released.

Have all of the rest of Star Trek, and Farscape

Jim

Transformers, Earthworm Jim, Invader Zim and Samurai Jack,

ixoy

I would potentially acquire (currently airing):
Dead Like Me
Lost
Smallville
The Wire

And when they do air again, I might find my way to:
24
Alias
Six Feet Under
Stargate: Atlantis
Stargate: SG-1

And when they did air, I might've come across:
Angel
Invader Zim
Mysterious Cities of Gold
Oz
Space: Above & Beyond
Transformers - Generation 1
Twin Peaks - Season 2

MrGump

Im not downloading any new television shows; I am however getting the X-men TAS and whatever episodes of Twin Peaks season two i come across. I'd love to have popular season one! that show was hiarlious until they changed the format.

I would however consider downloading stargate, and obviously family guy season four (when it's released).

Rockiemalt

xmen.. pah...

invader zim.. now thats quality programming!

RuggieBear

If i was to download tv shows.....


Scrubs
the 4400
clonewars
joey

OfflerCrocGod

South Park ( all of it it's total class )
Blackadder
Dilbert
Red Dwarf
Futurama
Family Guy
Simpsons ( earlier seasons )
Father Ted ( hard to get! )

Very little new stuff, I get Top Gear when it's on TV and once I've watched it I trow it away.

The discussion on this thread is a bit dodgy, as it looks like a discussion of warez, even though no links have been posted (thankfully ). I am however, going to close the thread, as I don't want boards.ie in any hot water! I may open it again if safe to do so but for now it's closed.

byte

After some deliberation, I have decided to open this thread again.

Just please don't post links or anything that involves how to download warez.

But I must add that I buy all the South Park DVD box sets when they come out. And I will continue to do so.

But it must be over 2 years since they released Season 4 on DVD.

I really don't see any point in downloading something that is easily available on DVD. Downloading is still slow, annoying and poor quality.

Stark

Six Feet Under
Firefly
Farscape: The peacekeeper wars when it's released in the US

radiospan

24
Ali G
South Park

(but none of those are airing new episodes right now, new 24 is in January 2005, the second half of South Park season 8 starts this month I think)

Optikus

South Park
Futurama
Family Guy
Soprano's
OZ
Various BBC documentaries mainly on evolution.

Red dwarf
Scrubs
Whose line is it anyway
South park
That 70's show
Joey
Friends
The simpsons
Family Guy
Futurama
Viva la bam

Kevok

At the moment:
Stargate SG1 + Atlantis
Smallville
Lost
Survivor

The Song Thrush

South Park, series 8 is f***ing funnier than ever!

Creamy Goodness

i wish i could download south park's i'd give three fiddy (i'm not asking for links i'm making a south park reference)

Sniipe

enterprise and smallville

Hello Kitty

The main ones would be:
Futurama
Simpsons
Family Guy
Southpark
Red Dwarf
Blackadder

Basq

I'm downloading the new episodes of Scrubs.

Also got every episode off South Park off a mate of mine - but haven't even watched them yet. Been sitting on my computer for a fortnight taking up many gig's!

Cabaal

Downloading tv shows?
But..But thats illegal!

Everything the RIAA & MPAA has said is correct everyone your killing the industry,
"Will somebody please think of the children"TM

rainglow

Buffy
Angel (both while still on the air)
Friends
Will and Grace
The OC
One Tree Hill
The Sopranos
South Park
Frasier
Sex and the City

As you can see my unlimited-download university connection got a lot of use last year! I downloaded older series just to have something to watch while I was bored but for the most part I was downloading stuff which was aired in the states months before it was shown here (SATC, Sopranos, Will & Grace)

calex71

main reason for downloading is due to number of repeats and delay in showing here on sky or regular tv, plus u watch when u feel like it and not worry if ur vhs has chewed another tape, i mean we could all capture this stuff as it airs here so how is that any different to recording to video, though the fact that alot of this stuff is shown in the us as hdtv means the quality is way better than what we get here, still like to get some shows on dvd though it has to said some shows are a rip off on dvd like stargate and south park where u dont get box sets and the dvds are full price for 3 or 4 episodes
the simpsons, futurama and family guy box sets were nice buys as was the season 3 box set of alias thats in the post right now for a reasonable 45 squid

current shows
stargate sg1 + atlantis
csi: original ny and miami
without a trace
smallville
enterprise (starts back this week)
south park (also back this week)

waiting for:
alias season 4
24 season 4
simpsons season 16

Mr E

No ads is a big plus for me...

Downloading - Survivor Vanuatu, Lost, The Apprentice (Season 2)

Just finished - Amazing Race 5, Big Brother 5 (USA), Big Brother 4 (Australia)

Waiting for - Amazing Race 6 (starting in a few weeks), 24, Alias, Stargate Atlantis (season 1, part 2).

Fysh

I have downloaded lots of South Park episodes. Other than that...

Bo! Selecta
Johnny Bravo
Some episodes of Mystery Science Theatre 3000
Ren & Stimpy

doh.ie

If I could right now, I'd pick up:

Everwood, Joan of Arcadia, Star Trek: Enterprise, CSI x3, Dead Like Me, ER,
Gilmore Girls, Lost, Joey, Malcolm, One Tree Hill, MST3K (any ones I haven't already seen), Scrubs, Stargate SG1 & Atlantis, The West Wing, Six Feet Under, Nip/Tuck, Smallville, Jack & Bobby, Arrested Development.

and potentially soon I'd enquire about, The OC, Alias, 24, Tru Calling and Carnivále
and new 4400 whenever that's ready.

In other words, I watch a *lot* of TV drama. And mostly cos I'm tired of Sky's editing of shows, and their ad breaks in the wrong places and their gigantic logos... And RTE's incompetence when it comes to imported drama.

ixoy

Wow doh.ie it's just as well it's only a "could" because if you did, you'd surely exceed all current ISP caps...

Having said that TG4 are more dependable than RTE so I think I could wait on some of the shows like OTH and The O.C...

True. If I could, I would go with an ISP which had no cap. It may cost a little more, but you have that freedom. Also, I may be slightly thrifty in that I hate having my DSL *not* in use, so I let it run a lot of the time and archive stuff off to DVD for my Divx player.

That's true of TG4, they are much better. But I've seen the cruel, teasing OC season 2 preview now and simply won't be able to wait. Need weekly dose of lavish parties for no reason and mandatory Marissa/Ryan pouting to tide me through this miserable winter that suddenly seems to have descended upon us!

wataru

Alias
Six Feet Under
Ghost in the Shell: SAC
South Park
Futurama

Ones I can be bothered actually buying:

Cowboy Bebop: complete
Family Guy(every damned episode)
Six Feet Under(soon as released)

Also like the internet tv(fresh anime), but heard that the streams give you lots of nasty spyware and stuff, is this a load of bullsh1t or am i putin my pc's mental health at risk?

You should really be able to stream these over the internet. Even with ads, like you can with music videos.

aontaim leat,

it would be handy to watch CBS/NBC/FOX/WN or indeed RTE1/RTE2) streaming
anyone know of a service, even fee paying, that has realplayer/media player streams like that?

The best I have at the moment is dxtuner.com which allows me to listen and control a remote scanner in the US and listen to US TV audio only though.

Currently:
Scrubs, Veronica Mars, Lost, Smallville, South Park, Drawn Together, Without A Trace and Joey.

Previously (and hopefully again next year):
Curb Your Enthusiasm, Six Feet Under, Deadwood, Sopranos.

If I could subscribe to HBO I would - it's got most of the best shows.
