How
To Download TV Episodes

Tools available to download TV episodes can be
divided into two categories legal and illegal; “legal” tools
(typically charge about $2 to download an episode of a television show) like
the iTunes Music Store and Google Video, and “unauthorized” (are
typically free tools like BitTorrent and Internet Relay Chat). The difference
between legal and unauthorized methods is whether the television network has
authorized the distribution of that program.

Normally you should resort to downloading from
iTunes Music Store or Google Video – as it is ethical and also they are easy to
handle downloading an episode. Contrary to this downloading a program with
BitTorrent is a intricate procedure that necessitates steering awkward
(sometimes untrustworthy) video search sites and waiting hours (sometimes
overnight) while the show downloads. Even then, the episode might turn out to
be encoded in a format that your PC doesn’t handle: so you’ve got to find and
install the proper video CODEC. It can be a time-consuming, frustrating
process.
