kudos:1 | My wife.... ....has asked me on more than one occasion to download various episodes because she forgot to set a timer on the DVR, accidently deleted it, it ran over (beyond the add'l time already in the timer), and so on. |

1 edit | Similar situation... A couple years ago, I downloaded an episode of a TV show that was pre-empted by local sports on the night it aired. It was a crucial episode in a serial drama at the end of its season, and to miss an installment was to miss a critical part of the story. It was the first time I had downloaded an episode of a TV show.
I received my first and only DMCA letter as a result of downloading that episode.
Utter stupidity.

kudos:3 | That's pretty bad, I've been downloading every new episode of Lost, 24, Jericho, and occasionally an episode of something for my mom and never had any problems.

kudos:5 | My girlfriend had me download a few episodes of Grey's Anatomy because the ABC server that streams the show online sucks (constant rebuffers) |

I use ShareTV.org for my TV and, according to them, almost no one gets DMCA letters from CBS, ABC, or Fox... but NBC and HBO do. Nothing legally troubling but just a letter to your ISP. I download Family Guy, The Daily Show, How I Met Your Mother, Grey's Anatomy (for the gf I swear), 30 Rock, and The Office without a DMCA yet (knock on wood). I'm exploring a few options regarding IP masking or VPN but so far nothing has worked 100%. |
