To watch live I suggest streaming them. Torrents are more so for movies or watching past seasons of a series to catch up. Services such as vudu offer some TV shows the next day after they air for about 2 dollars an episode. Phone Post

I mostly watch stuff from torrents and the WD Live supported the most video file types so I went with that one. So great not having to watch stuff on a computer monitor anymore You have ignored this user.

This is the one you need to run XBMC so you can watch free movies and tv shows or live sports. http://www.xbmchub.com/blog/category/installing-xbmc/ for more info. You have ignored this user.

Can you get "The View" from torrents? Most likely. Isn't that on a local channel? If so just get an antenna. You have ignored this user.

Got it for Christmas as well. Love it. I like AirPlay especially. It's nice to easily throw pics or movies from my iPhone up on my screen. Also like being able to play movies from iTunes easily and in good quality. YouTube even looks better than when I play it from my blue ray player. It's only $100, well worth it i you have apple stuff.
Found a VLC streamer app, hoping I can stream whatever I want with this. Phone Post

AppleTV

Hulu Plus $7.99/month subscription, limited content primarily from ABC, Comedy Central, CW, Fox, MTV, NBC, Nickelodeon, released the day after first run and typically available for a limited time (six weeks). Hulu Plus has advertising unlike the other services mentioned.

iTunes $.99 -$4.99 movie rentals, $9.99 - $49.99/season television series, massive content library, released day after first run. Savvy users can find free episodes.

Netflix $7.99/month subscription, large content library of popular television shows, released one year after first run. The greatest challenge with Netflix is discoverability.

Podcasts FREE AppleTV has a Podcast app that offers hundreds of video podcasts for FREE. Much MORE CONTENT THAN ROKU although Crackle and a few other decent channels are not offered. Many of the podcast channels are offered as standalone channels on Roku. AppleTV does not offer dozens of worthless channels though.

If all that isn't enough, newer Mac computers can AirPlay any content from their Mac to their AppleTV. Founders of older Mac computers, AirParrot offers AirPlay-like functionality. Phone Post
