Watch TV Shows Online Free How to Download TV Shows For Free

The Writers Strike isn't showing any signs of ending, so now is a great time to catch up with some tv series that you may have missed. There's a lot of tv shows that you can download for free. The trick is finding a great service that has every free tv show downloads that you are looking for.



There's a variety of options available for downloading media. You can sign up with iTunes and download one episode at a time, paying usually about $1.99 for each download. Occasionally they have some shows that you can get for free and usually it will be the pilot episode of a series so you can check it out and see if it is a series you might be interested in watching. Then you can sign up for a subscription and new episodes will download automatically each time you fire up iTunes. They then can be transferred to your iPod or can just watch them on your computer.



Another alternative is Amazon's UnBox service which works very similar to iTunes with pretty much the same pricing structure. You can pick and choose episodes to download if you are only looking for one or two shows that you missed. You can also usually download an entire season of a show. Amazon features movie downloads as well and one of the cool options with UnBox is that you can "rent" a movie to download. It sort of works like Pay Per View in that you will have a 24 hour viewing window to watch the movie and then after that it is locked out. Also, you can have Amazon Unbox items transferred to your TiVo and watch them on your tv.



For another option, there is Fast TV Downloads. Instead of paying per episode, you pay a single membership fee and download as many shows as you like. This works out better if there are a lot of shows you want to catch up with, where iTunes and Amazon work best if there's only a few episodes or shows that you missed. Also, with Fast download free tv shows you can burn the shows to DVD and play them in your normal DVD player. But you won't be able to transfer them to your TiVo. To transfer them to your iPod, would generally mean you'd need to convert the file to a different format, but it can be done. It just involves a couple of steps.



And finally, if you just don't want to take the time to download your tv shows, then you can watch them for free online at most of the network tv websites. At this point, nearly all of the broadcast companies run their shows online after they air, but you'll have to catch them quick because they usually only keep a few episodes online at any one time.

Watch TV Shows Online Free Where to Watch Free TV Shows

Now that summer is here, it is time to catch up on all the shows you missed during the regular television season. The writer's strike may have gotten in the way a little and sometimes it made it hard to keep up with what shows were airing and which ones were gone. So if you missed some episodes of your favorite shows, never fear! There's plenty of places to watch free tv shows online and this is your guide to where to watch them.



The first stop for you should probably be the network's actual websites if you have high speed internet. You'll be able to watch tv shows online without having to download them. They will just stream to your computer. Most of the major networks and even some of the smaller ones that are only available through cable or satellite have started airing their shows for free on their websites. The only problem with that is if you have a slow connection or have bad DSL or cable connectivity because it can sometimes make for choppy play. The other issue is if you live outside the US and want to watch US tv shows, oftentimes you are blocked from doing it on the network websites.



Other places to watch free tv shows include Hulu.com which airs NBC owned content (like The Simpsons) and some content from Fox as well. Unfortunately though, Hulu is also only for US users.



Next up is download services like Amazon and iTunes. Both services allow users to pay to download individual episodes or a whole season. I think usually there is a discount if you will be downloading a full season, but often you may just be better off waiting for the DVD box set. Now, if you only need a few episodes that you missed though, Amazon and iTunes can both be a good deal at $1.99 per downloaded episode. I'm not sure you can download from either service if you live outside the US though.



And finally, there is the one time fee services or free tv show downloads. The way these are set up is instead of paying for individual downloads, you just pay a one time fee. After that you download the shows that you want to watch and store them on your computer, rather than watching them online. The big advantage is that you don't have to worry about lags in your internet connection once the show is downloaded, so it won't freeze up on you. The other advantage is that the tv shows can be downloaded by anyone anywhere, so if you are looking to find where best to watch free tv shows, it is probably on your own computer!
