While there seems to be a lot of information online about how to download TV shows, it can be really confusing. People these days work long hours and probably can only find time to watch their favorite TV programs during weekends. But the sad truth is that many of such shows run on week day schedules. So if you missed it, the only possible to catch up on the series is by downloading the TV shows to watch during the weekend. To summarize, you can do so using the torrent networks, TiVO, peer-to-peer or paid services.

If you wish to use TiVO, just go to the menu of the main site and utilize the Messages and Settings option. Go to Media Access Key and record down the number once you click on the right arrow key. Log into the site and download the TiVO Desktop 2. Install the application and apply the Media Access Key to activate.

At TiVO, go to Manage My Account and look for the area where you can click DVR preferences. Then, tick the box for Allow Transfers Once the installation is complete, launch TiVO Desktop. Next, you have to click on Pick Recordings to Transfer.

From there, select the program you are looking for and activate the “Start Transfer” button. The download can take a couple of hours. Close down all the running applications if you can as this will free up the PC resources for the download. Once the download is complete, click the “Now Playing” button and watch.

It is not that challenging to download TV shows afterall right? This is but one way we mentioned only. There are several methods to do so and these shows come in various formats like DIVX, AVI, MOV, etc.

Always make sure you choose the site carefully. One important reason is that some are not authorized. Other than TiVO, you can use LimeWire and P2P file sharing programs. The files are accessed with permission from the network users.

Just be careful when downloading from unknown sources. You should check the website’s background carefully, and if you are going to use P2P, ensure that you have antivirus programs installed. There are many websites and people out there whose intention is to maliciously send computer viruses. So, exercise caution because people who download TV shows from unknown sources are likely to get virus attacks.

Other than TiVO, a good option these days is using a paid membership download site. It is not free but the fee you pay is probably less than $49 a month for unlimited TV shows and movies. At least you know for sure that you will not have any problem with insecured sites, virus-laden files, incomplete TV shows or even copyright issues.
