Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] watching streaming shows from NBC...

Bittorrent has saved my can on more than one occasion when I failed to 
get Survivor recorded on the VCR for my wife.  My DVR is set to record 
Earl and The Office that night, so you know where my priorities are.  
;D  I just need another tuner card.

Bittorrent is great if you miss a show or want to check out something 
new.  There are apps now that make it super simple.
