TVShows

Version: 0.4.4 || Release Date: 2009-12-06 || License: Other Open Source

What is TVShows ?

TVShows is a Mac OS X application that automatically downloads your favourite shows. You don't need anymore to manually download torrent files, TVShows does it for you. Manage your subscriptions and preferences from within the TVShows application, and TVShows takes care of the rest: a background process is automatically launched at a regular interval to check for new episodes.

What is not TVShows ?

TVShows is not a Bittorrent client, it (just) automatically downloads the correct torrent file at the right time. TVShows will automatically use your preferred Bittorrent client to download the shows.
Features

* Automatic process in background: no need to run the application 24/7; silent and unobstructive
* Intelligent: downloads the right episode as soon as it is available
* Quality selection: choose a quality setting (Normal, High or Very High), TVShows downloads the best available one

As an alternative, you can also try Automatic.

tvrss.net/ezrss.it is back online and TVShows works again - even on Leopard!

I use TVShows in tandem with Transmission and its auto add feature

With tvrss.net down and no developer handling tvshows, it's safe to say, this program is dead.

instead of waiting for months, and for 1.**0** at that, I'd recommend Miro: http://osx.iusethis.com/app/miro

Still no new version? I'm giving up hope. Does anyone know of a web based alternative?

it was actually working for me until about 2 weeks ago. I've got to say, I like how the website has said

"You've already waited 8 months for a new release, one month more is not going to kill you. Stay tuned!"

for many many many months now. I want :(

According to a forum post and this blog post, TVShows no longer works. It still works for me though, so I'm not sure where the problem lies. A new version is way overdue, though.

I love this app. I don't watch a ton of tv, which means the few shows I do watch I often end up missing episodes because my mind doesn't operate on a tv schedule the way it used to when tv ruled my life. With TVShows I've gotten back into a bunch of shows I used to like and had stopped watching, without having to worry about conflicts with my shows vs the roommate's shows or not being able to keep to the tv schedule.

@lest78 : You probably have Adobe CS2 or CS3 installed, Opera is used as the web rendering software in Bridge.
