I'm sorry, but my damned Tuner Card taped another show instead of this one! I just want to see Episode 2 of this season's OC! :D If anyone recorded it and feels like sending it to me I'd be eternally grateful! :confused:

I don't see why it's so bad to download a TV show. If it's from HBO or Showtime, I could see an issue but if it's on broadcast TV then what's the big deal.

i dont think it has to do with DLing a show i think it has to do with refering torrent sites as most probably dont just have tv shows on them

I understand that but I'm pretty sure downloading TV shows is illegal. At least I thought it was. Maybe it's just that the people who make the shows don't want it done.

It's illegal. If it wasn't, there wouldn't have been any reason to shut down those large TV Torrent websites.

So my issue is, if it's available for free for anyone to record, why can't I download an episode I miss?

Broadcast tv shows are paid by commercials. When you download these shows, the commercials are cut out. DVRs on the other hand keep the commercials there, you just have the option of skipping over them.

True, but even if you were to download the ep with the commercials intact,it is STILL illiegal.

dont worry...all that happened was marissa was kicked out of school by some jacka$$ new dean...ryan was safe though. they went to a carnival..dean showed up...ryan knocked out the dean...ryan expelled from school.

and oh ya..that chick at the rehab clinic seduced the mom into staying with her in her cabin getaway.
