Downloading TV shows to iTouch I just bought an iTouch and love it. Thank you for all the great advice you've offered this newbie on MP3 players. Can anyone tell me how to download TV shows? I'd like to watch some shows on ABC.com and other sites. Also, is there any way to download recorded shows directly from my DVR? Thank you.

Make sure you have settings set to sync videos, When you get the screen that asks you to register the last item in the menu I believe it says others is where you will find this setting. Choose sync all this should solve the problem.

I agree. And I think I'll stick with the easy path of iTunes. It just bothers me that you can only buy movies on iTunes. I just want to rent them -- watch them a couple of times and delete. I hope they change that.

I read an article on Forbes stating Apple will begin offering rentals on itunes soon.

I'm a big fan of my iPod touch as well (in fact, I'm typing this on mine right now). To download movies or TV shows, I normally just use iTunes. It's not only easy, but it's also legal. Paying two dollars per episode is outrageous for some, but I don't mind because of the ease and convenience...Just my two cents :-)

I just got my itouch for Christmas. I have had no trouble syncing photos and mucsic, but am having trouble with video and tv shows. I have downloaded tv shows from itunes and can get them to play on my laptop, but they do not seem to be syncing to my itouch. It is not a matter of space...still have over 14GB. I assume tv shows would fall under the video tab...but they dont seem to be. What am I missing?? MP

I love this TV. It was a purchase of a lifetime for me. However, I NEVER could get the guide working properly. My cable system has it's own guide system, but sometime, I just want to watch just the TV, and use their guide. It keeps telling me that the guide is downloading overnight, but the next day, there is still NO guide information on the screen. If you got yours working, please tell me how you did it. Thanks "Emil"

You will need eyeTV or other software for DVR. This unit works well, is seen by software, and we record our shows and do not pay cable. Another big bang for your buck is to buy a Roku or similar device as most all ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS shows can be seen for free in HD using only internet connection and it also has a "Plex" channel that wirelessly accesses the recordings on your PC.

The best and simplest way is to go through Itunes and just drag and drop. Sync it from there.I must warn you though, not all iPod videos come out the same. Some don't sync properly, for some reason (still working on that one). But 95% that I've sync'd played just fine.You can than use the DVD player/dock and watch them in widescreen!

I returned the item a long time ago, but I think you can actually come into a show already on the air, press "rec" and start watching, and then after that you can press "pause" and "play" all you wish. You cannot do this with a show that you set to record and then walked in on mid-way. Nor can you do the "rec/pause" trick while the unit is already recording a show - without messing up your recording.

I bought the ip cam viewer app and was able to set it up see it on the same network but once I leave the network it wont work. Something about the ip address not being static but always changing. I was unsuccessful in setting up the record either since I'm not an IT guy. I think unless you really know networking it's pretty complicated for a noob like myself. There are couple of free ip camera viewers out there so check it out. I'm able to view, pan, and tilt with the one I got. Just wish I knew how to take advantage of the full potential. Sorry I couldn't have been a better help.

Use this add on available from the B&N; store. Link below. With this my daughter watches her shows on projectfreetv without a problem. Its free but B&N; makes you "buy it". meaning you can't download it until you put in a credit card number. It would be nice if it was added to the google app store. Download it, install, and restart your nook.http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/browser-plugin-barnes-and-noble/1113914386?ean=2940043651563

you need to use a flash drive (I've used my Sandisk Cruzer and it works fine) connected to the USB port to play mp3s (I believe you can view pictures in jpeg from a flash drive too). Make sure you're using the correct type of SD card to view jpeg pictures. Also, the TV doesn't support .avi files. Look in the TV manual to find the correct settings to view or listen to files...it's not automatic.

Dagnabit! You got my TV! ;) I hope you enjoy it and post a review. In the mean time I will be RSS feeding this product page to my home page so I can snap it up as soon as it's available. It would be great if you could also post your experience with Amazon's "white glove" or "enhanced" or whatever they choose to call it - delivery service. I've been curious about the details of how that works. Thanks

I returned my simple TV Device and purchased the HD homerun Device the HD homerun device has two tuners built in, is the same size box as this simple TV, and records files to windows. I then got an app "instantTV pro for my ipad and I am happy now. I have other ways to save and view TV shows on the IPAD if needed

Also can you hook to your TV and watch real time?

Connect it to your computer. iTunes will come up and tell you what to do. If you don't have iTunes, you can download it for free. I always set my iPods up through iTunes and have never had a problem. When I come across things I don't know how to do, I just google it.

What do you have to hookup in to to record from DVR? Do you hook dvr to dvd player only? Does Cable have to run thru the DVD player and tv? I've tried a couple times and nothing is recording. Also, how do you finalize if you are choosing record without setting it up.

Mine arrived on Tuesday (11/27) and I'm having mixed results. I mainly want it as a portable DVR (I bought it with the docking station) and sometimes it works and other times I can't even see the recording tab to select it. It was great watching Monday night's Heros while I was riding the train yesterday (it was saved to my Comcast DVR on Monday and I transferred it to the 705 on Tuesday evening), and I was able to hook up a card reader to transfer photos from my camera flash cards (after updating the firmware), so I've had some success. The overall problem is poor documentation, and I'm hoping to resolve my problems by playing with it this weekend. Mine arrived on Tuesday (11/27) and I'm having mixed results.

Thanks to all of you on this thread! Like Karen B. and the others, I've been going nuts trying to get my Sansa C250 to show up on my home PC. No problem on the one at work. (You wouldn't believe how 'creative' I had to get to download an audiobook at home.) I downloaded the Firmware Updater and followed the instructions and I can FINALLY 'drag and drop' at home.

Over the air digital TV only or online streaming media like YouTube. You can record while you watch anything else...... Where would you find analog TV broadcast signals these days anyways? ;-)
