Don't resist change! It's the future of TV.

Apart from getting the show late, you also don't get the whole show. They edit it so they can fit commercials in. When in the frig did SBS start having commercials in the middle of shows...?

For us techtards, where do you find the full episodes on the web. I have been able to find stories on youtube but not full episodes.

Any tips or links appreciated!

The place I go to in order to torrent most of the TV that I watch is;

http://eztv.it/frontpage.php

There's the odd show I love that I have to go hunting for. Both TG Aus and TG UK will show up there usually a couple of hours after they've been aired.

I can't remember the last time I've watched a TV commercial at home. :P

I am surprised season 12 will begin in Jan! SBS has been behind for 6 years, I wonder why the change?

Thank God for that.
Luckily, we don't have Top Gear UK "fast-tracked' and presented to us by David Kock and Mel on channel 7.

Can you imagine; (Scratchy, crappy voice) "So tell uas who you think the Stig is, we'll put it on the Roswall. I think it's our own Grant Denyer, he's a bloke, and he looks about the same but a little bit different. of course the BBC would pay to fly him over every week. On ya Grant, show the poms how Aussie blokes do it maaaaaaaaate".

Luckily, I also don't need to put up with an hour of ads that are constantly interrupted by some show called Border Security on channel 7 anymore too.
