I already own the hardware and the service is fantastic – very fast downloads, you can start watching after only a few minutes of downloading, and the quality is great.

TRANSFER RECORDINGS FROM ROGERS PVR TO USB TV
Xbox Live Marketplace now offers movies in Canada, but no TV shows. To be able to watch content downloaded via iTunes, I would need to pick up an Apple TV, or buy the necessary cables to hook Deanna’s MacBook up to the entertainment system.

The iTunes movie service is much better, but with rentals only being made available a month after their release, there isn’t much of a reason to consider it. Even now, a year after its introduction, there isn’t a single show I would pay to watch. That was, until I saw the line-up of supported channels and shows. When Apple announced TV shows finally coming to iTunes Canada, I couldn’t have been more excited. Not to mention, there is still a great deal of content that’s not available in HD, despite it airing in HD initially. On rare occasions where I’ve been able to get a show or movie to actually play, I’ve experienced problems such as audio cutting out momentarily or all together, or not being able to resume after pausing. At peak times, it will crash, stall, or be unavailable all together. Aside having a horrible out-dated and terribly slow interface, the service is completely unreliable. Our cable TV provider (Rogers) offers their own On Demand channel, as well as The Movie Network On Demand, and a few other specialty channels. I’m not sure if I lasted the month before trading the PVR in for a standard HD cable box. Scheduled recordings were regularly missed, the last couple minutes of certain shows chopped off, and managing recorded shows couldn’t have been more tedious. Unfortunately, the hardware was less than stellar and proved to be more of a source of frustration than anything else. This gave her a chance to schedule some shows to record and watch at a later date. She’s always missing shows she likes while she’s doing homework, or eating dinner, etc. This seemed like a great option, not only for myself, but for Hannah as well. When I bought my first HDTV, the first thing I did after setting it up was trade in my old cable box for an HD PVR. The season premiere episode of Battlestar Galactica had over 3000 people seeding it, and I managed to connect to 2 of them, which resulted in an embarrassing 6kbps transfer. Downloading a 1GB+ TV show episode would take a couple days, at best. I’ve found grabbing music via BitTorrent is acceptable, but still takes longer than it should. Unfortunately, my ISP (Rogers) throttles BitTorrent traffic something awful, which renders it almost entirely useless. But after mentioning my desire for the ability to add codecs to my Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3, I started wondering if there might be a better/easier means of watching the shows I download.īitTorrent seems like the obvious choice, given that there’s no additional cost. While it involves the most effort on my part, the end result is exactly what I’m after. Personally, I’ve tried all of the above and settled on the latter – Usenet.

Now we have PVRs, on demand channels, digital distribution services, and more manual avenues like downloading via BitTorrent or Usenet. For the most part, we’ve had a way of recording shows and watching them later. When it comes to watching television shows, a lot has changed over the years.
