I’ve started to use a fantastic free piece of software called Miro.  It can automatically download and play tv shows off the web.    Since it has Bittorrent and rss support, it’s easy to add an rss feed of your favourite shows and it simply downloads the newest episode every time it’s released. 

And it’s so easy to use!  Probably pushing it for absolute non-nerds, but if there’s even a glimmer there, you’re in luck…

Have a look – www.getmiro.com
