When you are in the iTunes app and you tap on Purchased (the one at the bottom next to Downloads, not the button within Downoads which seems to go somewhere else), do they show up there? Changing the View between Movies, TV Shows and Music seems to crash the app, btw.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Yes, they show up in purchased, but when I tap th ecloudbutton to download them, they download again, but don't appear on th iPad. I can watch online, but I wanted them for offline viewing.

Hm. Let's see if I can duplicate the problem. When I download a season, the store marks it as downloaded immediately, but it doesn't show up in the library right away (I'm trying right now so I can see what happens).
Oh, wait, if I do only one episode I at least get it showing up in "Downloads" so I can see progress. And it shows up in the library while it's downloading.
I think my problem was trying to download too much for my available memory. Could that apply?

I don't think so. It downloads, then says "processing". Then the screen flickers and everything disappears.

Okay, I went to take a photo to show you and suddenly, they are all there. Over a day after I downloaded them. Wtf?

Processing? Huh.
Can you find them by searching for the video name on that screen before the first screen of apps? If you can you can play them from there. If you can't then the problem is in the downloading, probably.
Have you rebooted?
Eta: I have no idea, but I'm glad they showed up!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Lifehacker lists their top 5 web hosts (added recs in the comments): [link]
I am a little surprised Dreamhost is #1, just because I didn't expect I'd be using the #1, not that they suck or anything (admittedly I didn't get hacked in the last security violation).

I've been pretty happy with FatCow, but my needs aren't that involved with only a handful of domains doing simple stuff. I can't run an application server off of it, which would be nice though.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
TV tech question - Zmayhem are pondering various cutting-cable-to-the-bare-minimum-with-tech-supplement options, and had almost totally decided on getting a Roku box, when an offer fell into our laps of possible indefinite borrowage of a Tivo Premiere, which would do all the same Netflix/Hulu/Amazon/YouTube/misc and whatnot streaming as the Roku.
I already know that Tivo's TOS won't let us just switch our Tivo enrollment over to the Premiere, so we're not planning on getting rid of our Series 2 and its lifetime membership. But does anyone know if we can still use the Premiere as a streaming device if it isn't signed up for a Tivo plan? If we'd just have to sign up for another membership to get access to the streaming, we'd be better off just getting the Roku. But if it'll work fine for streaming even if we're not using it for Tivoing, that'd be golden. Do any Techistas know which it is?

I think what you lose by not having a Tivo subscription is access to the listings. So you'd need to manually set the time and channel for every recording.
