And the HD quality on the downloads is identical to that of the cable TV feed.
The On Demand service doesn't carry the entire back catalog either. Hulu and Netflix are actually the better option for the old back catalogs.
I can't recall ever hearing anything about the TV Networks going after torrent users.

You know better than me on that one. I'm only thinking about how many idiots send out viruses and trojans every day in every other way, so I figure why not torrents too? But I have never ever used a torrent site so I'm ignorant on that.
And yeah, the on demand is no good for old stuff. I was referring to if I happened to miss a recent episode of something.
If I am a fan of something...I'll go buy the DVD season collection (if it's available) or the movie on BluRay. But I'm not really a fan of television shows to that extent anyway. Once I watch it one time, I'm done with it.
The only things I keep are concert movies because I'm a musician and I love music. But again, I buy those since I'm a fan of all the bands that I collect.
And I think the TV networks have went at it differently. Their programming is already free. It's not the product that they sell....so they are all ad based. So with that business model they have pretty much all set up archived seasons on their network websites to watch.
I only mentioned "getting in trouble" because I don't particularly want to take any chances of going to a site that does contain stolen content and having my IP identified etc.
I like to keep under the radar.
