If you want to "timeshift" then there's a thing called a DVR, there's also DVD burners.
If you want to go old school there's VCR. You can buy the DVD set from wally world.

what exactly about inferior technology do you not understand moron
dvr have a fixed size hard drive torrents do not
dvr fail if the power goes out torrents just recheck and continue along
dvr can only timeshift a limited number of shows that air at the same time torrents don't care
and so on
if i have paid my cable bill i have already paid for that content, so your get stuff for free bullshit it totally and utterly wrong
this is about forcing me to use an inferior technology so that the $2 itunes seems like a good deal instead.

Or you can legally purcahse a digital copy from Itunes, Amazon, XBL or PSN. But of course $2 is to much for cheap ass bums that live in mommy's basement. Also many shows are available for legal streaming on sites like Hulu. Plenty of ways to LEGALLY "time shift" without the use for torrents

hulu is inferior it not available in canada, and you must be connect to the internet to watch it (see above)
as for buying it from itunes, it not the cost it the fact i have already paid for that content, and i have a right to timeshift it for free.
i don't like paying twice for the same right.
now if you don't care great send me a check for all your hosting bills
if you don't want to pay twice for something you already paid for why the fuck would you think it is unreasonable for me to have the exact same feeling.
