TED is "the man" for TV shows

Apparently I'm late to the party on this one. LifeHacker blogged about TED 3 years ago. Then again, I only just ditched my DirecTV service, and I'm still looking for the best way to watch my favorite TV shows without it.

I have a digital antenna and converter box. But it turns out even with an amplified antenna, I'm far enough away from the broadcast towers to get consistent drop outs. Annoying. Hulu is good, but they don't have all the shows I watch (e.g. MythBusters and Robot Chicken).

I tried out Boxee and some of the other media center aggregators out there. But then I stumbled upon TED. I love the simplicity. You subscribe to a show. It looks for torrents for that show. When it finds one, it downloads it. You can then watch at your leisure. Brilliant.
