Re: Getting content to the TV isn't hard

Ditto. I turned my older gaming PC (still pretty powerful) into a Media Center PC. I can find all the TV shows I normally watch just a few hours old via eztv and download them via BitTorrent. I setup filters that download all my shows atuomatically and put them in pre-determined folders.

Before I got FiOS, I didn't even have TV service and survived just fine using the BT --> Media Center PC method, plus everything is in HD (MPEG4 encoded). I also turned my Xbox 360 into a Media Center Extender, so I have access to my shows on every big screen in my house.

If I wasn't such a soccer fan, I probably wouldn't have FiOS TV. My girlfriend would complain, too.
