TV Shows

[BarrelIsPointed]

How do you buy tv shows? Because I'm thinking it's going to be cheaper to buy Entourage, The Office, and My Name Is Earl rather than buying cable or satellite.

go to best buy?

I'm talking about buying them a show at a time. Can't you do that?

[ben pequeno]

i've never heard of it but you could download torrents?

[DroppedUrPocket]

Not sure you can do that, sir.

[DroppedUrPocket]

Unless iTunes has them.

[Brandn3w]

do you mean on demand?

[fluke182]

I'm going to go ahead and tell you this - it would not be cheaper, unless that is all you watch. I'm going to say a word, you do what you want with it. TorrentSpy.

:gasp!:

i bought season 2 of lost on itunes...its cheaper than the dvds would be so it wasnt bad

[Adeniz19]

yea you can buy shows off itunes

also, the office and my name is earl come on basic TV so you don't have to buy cable for that

probably a dumb question, but when you buy shows/videos off iTunes, can you burn them to a dvd?

[LilRyan732]

I missed something here--why would you want to buy them 1 show at a time?

I like to have the boxes and stuff... but I'm sure its a lot cheaper that way.

Most likely for ipod video.

So you can watch them when the show airs, or the next day, instead of waiting months for the DVDs to release.

To be fair, DVDs are much better quality, and often include lots of extras. And they are hard copies instead of digital. It's not surprising they were cheaper.

iTunes is pretty much the only way to go to buying digital episodes. The amount of shows you can get from it is astounding. I myself get shows using torrents, but seeding them is a bastard sometimes.

[FrancesTheMute]

or you just can get the episodes the next day for free on torrentspy in dvd quality... [how i've been getting it's always sunny in philadelphia because i always forget it's on]

HAHA, I see. I'm an idiot bro--I was under the impression he wanted to buy like, Scrubs Season 1, one episode at a time.

Yeah, I do that all the time, torrenting TV shows I miss :)

i think there is a way to convert them to .mpg or whatever, using a certain program, but idk. and dont quote me on that



you can put them on your ipod though

ya you can also download the videos from other sources by Mpg. and convert to IPod, i dont get why you have to buy a dvd or show when it was already on tv, i mean you dont watch the commericials anyway, so how is downloading the show free being illegal when you could of hit record on your vcr, tivo, what not.

Hmm...turns out I'll be saving my money. Especially since the only one that matters right now is Entourage, which they don't sell on itunes.
