ok will check some of those out but you have heard of bit torrenting yeh?
At the moment I'm watching High Definition versions of Boston Legal and Robin Hood. and various BBC nature documentaries all torrented. Yeh its kind of like stealing them I guess but its only TV. Movies too if you want to be even more of a pirate.

The internet - all of the piracy but none of the scurvy!

Wiki will give you all you the technical background on P2P bit torrenting.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_torrent
but thats much more than you need to know

Just get a client programme installed such as Azareus or , and I recommend this one ìTorrent. http://www.utorrent.com/

Then find a torrent file of a programme or movie that you want ,(this is just a small file containing the metadata about the data itself and where the tracker is etc) and load that into the client - File/Open New Torrent etc and start it up
Just google eg "Robin Hood torrent" or go to some site like http://torrentspy.com/ and search.
Theres a variety of stuff available but of course it not always what you want. Tends to be the very popular and very recent things
Old stuff tends to stop being 'seeded' meaning theres no one still uploading as it were.

The main issue with P2P torrenting is that you end up moving a LOT of data. To get a movie or say a 4 part series it can be a couple of gig (depending on the quality ) but because torrenting relies on everyone giving as well as getting you may end up moving 3-4 gigs of data to get what you want. So its not much chop if you have a small data cap on your internet plan.
I managed to get one of those unlimited plans with Xtra so I'm tending to use it more and more One day I expect they will have me up about it. Until then...... TV the way I want it.

Definitely worth investigating torrenting if you want to choose your entertainment quite specifically. Lots of people I know use it to watch TV episodes ahead of whats playing on NZ tv

Oh and a tip - check the file content of each torrent on the website where you get the torrent file from, if its zipped then avoid - just go for stuff that is an obvious file type such as avi or mpg etc. Zipped ones often request a password and without that you've just wasted all that bandwidth.
Any further questions just ask. I could also provide a torrent file for anyone to start with, no problem.

I sometimes watch the news off tvnzondemand.co.nz too
