You need to qualify that because TiVo is shite for music, games, applications and porn.

Agreed.

Newsgroups are shit for watching TV shows in HD and lack convenience.

At the rate that HD content has prevaded Newsgroups (coupled with ever increasing broadband speeds) and the continued ease of use of programs like Grabit in the last year that assertion will start to sound hollow.

Keep watching on your computer monitor....that's after you download and encode it.

:ph34r:

I don't have to encode.
I can watch whenever I want.
I can watch on any TV or comp screen in my house that I want to.

It isn't now though. If the twats start shutting down sites with those files then your assertion will start to hollow.

The difference in watching Lost on a TV when coming home.....

You

find file
download file
burn file
watch on Divx player (in standard definition)

Me

select the show
watch in HD

Why do I need to burn my files?
Why do I need to use a Divx player (in standard definition)?

Edit: Also, no-one is about to shut down any site "with those files", they might (and I stress 'might') shut down the indexing sites.

My bad re: your edit.

I keep forgetting about the PC being hooked up to your TV or you watch on your computer monitor.

I used to watch on a monitor as well.

newsgroups > tivo since i get to watch all the latest shows from the states months before i would ever see them over here.

alt.binaries.hdtv is a pretty busy group these days. Its just a shame no bugger this side of the pond really has a hdtv.

If TV programming in the States was shit and brat TV was teh shizzle I'd loive newsgroups > Tivo too.

I at least thought some of the folks saying newsgroups > Tivo at the very least used Tivo before.

I have used both.

I think BSkyB is rolling out HD service this year and there already is Euro1080/HD1.

Once you watch in HD you'll never wanna go back. You'll think a DVD picture is shit.

I had tons of movies on DVD that I had never seen and waited until I got an upconvert player to watch them.
