TVShows
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
Opinions:
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.
@leest78: Do a Get Info on any Torrent file (command+I) and drill down the Open With section. Change it to Transmission (or your client of choice) and Change All. Should be good to go.
It tries to open the torrents in Opera. I dont even use Opera on my machine. Is anyone else having tis issue? I have safari as my default web browser.
Dunno... it seems pretty basic. Not much info on display in the app. Will wait and see once torrents start getting downloaded as to how it actually works.
i think it starts working after the first reboot with start on login on.
Works for me in Leopard.
doesn't work anymore in leopard, anyone knows how to fix this?
Is german TV supported?
Old eMac + TVShows + Transmission + Handbrake + VLC = Basically the cheapest Mac Media center ever. The dongle to get S-Video out for the eMac is like 5 bucks. Works like a mega-charm! I would LOVE to try this set up out on a new intel mac with Front Row. For extra cheapness/awesomeness I have been experimenting with using my Wii Remote to control the thing using DarwiinRemote, which is fun.
