There seems to be so many ways to download TV shows that people become totally confused with how to do it. Many a times, folks miss an episode or two or wanted to catch a popular TV series but never got the chance to. This is where it makes sense then to download the shows so that they can watch them anytime. There are the video streaming sites, torrent networks, TiVO, P2P and paid download services that make these options available to you and me.

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.

From TiVO, there is an area called "Manage My Account". Go there and click on the DVR preferences. Check the box for "Allow Transfers Once". The installation by now should be complete and it is time to launch the desktop application. Remember to click on the "Pick Recordings To Transfer" button.

From the list that is shown, pick the program and initiate the transfer using the "Start Transfer" option. It can take a few hours before the download is complete. By closing other programs that are running on your computer, you can increase the download speeds. Once the download is complete, you can play the show using the "Now Playing" icon.

Sounds easy to download TV shows? Well, this is only one method. There are other methods to do so as well. On the internet, there are many websites that offer these in several media file formats with the most common ones as MOV, AVI, DIVX.

While it is convenient to find the television shows online, some websites are not legal so please exercise discretion in choosing a site to use. Other than that, you can also find products similar to Limewire to download. These are commonly called P2P, which are ideal for sharing shows that you find on other's computers with their permission.

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.
