Insent quester.
I have cable modem, a recent daily show takes me about 15 minutes to download. Less active torrents can take a lot longer.
Anybody can be a prop class clown.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

tommyrot, I hear that Woodfield Mall has a place to get amazingly good chocolate. You know, should you find yourself there.

Your tag here.
if you use BitTorrent and go to a torrent site, you can download episodes of both those shows
Let's just say that I know for a fact that NBC/Universal (owners of BSG) frown very heavily on this practice, FYI.

Hey. New board.
Also, unlike some other studios that frown on it heavily, they nicely provide another option: you can download BSG season 2 for $1.99 an episode from the iTunes store. Which is much less a PITA than BT anyway, for the vast majority of folks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does anyone have any antenna recommendations or tips for non-cable tv? I am this close to having watchable UPN, but I can't quite get it in without a lot of sound fuzziness.

DIY DVRs and the cloud hovering on the horizon.
I've read all kinds of conflicting stuff about that, and it seems like nobody knows how it will turn out. As long as I can get a NTSC quality signal to my Myth-box I should be fine. Meanwhile, it's busy recording lots of stuff I can archive off to DivX videos (personal use only). The big motivation for the MythBox was to record stuff for the kids and control exposure to commercials. If DRM makes it unable to record in the future at some point, then it still is a nice playback device for all the recorded stuff and music. ('Sides, except for the tuner it was built from stuff I already had)
My use for Bittorrent is the Daily Show and Linux ISOs. Pre-cable, the bittorrent was a lot more convenient that watching video clips from the website, post-cable it's still more convenient than recording although the MythBox will change that once a frontend is hooked up to the TV.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The Daily Show is now on the iTMS, also.
The sale of these shows is being handled a bit differently. You can buy a "multi-pass" for both The Colbert Report and The Daily Show for $9.99US. This gets you the current episode, and sets up iTunes to automatically download future episodes as they become available (up to 16 episodes). Think of it as a paid podcast.

How does video work on iTunes. Can you play it back on your TV?
