Thanks to the wonders of the internet, you no longer need to panic if you miss an episode of your favourite show, or if you decide to get up to speed on a series you've never watched before.
Surfthechannel.com is a little like the Google of TV shows. They do not host video files (because that would be very naughty), but they do provide links to the various places on the internet where you might find, for example, last season's episodes of Grey's Anatomy, or last week's premiere of Gossip Girl.
To use it, simply type in the name of the show you are looking for in the box near the top and click Search. You will then get a list of Search Results, and if all goes well one of them should be called Television. Click on it, then on the right side under Channel Results you should see the name on your program. Click on that to go to a list of available episodes. Choose the one you want and you'll see a list of locations for the video. You then have the choice to watch the video from one of those locations or to download it. Some files might require you to download viewing software, others will not. You may need to try a couple before finding one that works, or that hasn't already been deleted for copyright infringement (which the Burlington Team in no way endorses).
Keep in mind of course that streaming video can be slow and have lags, but it's less prone to carry viruses than a downloaded file.
It's not perfect, but if your PVR or VCR fails you, it's a nice little insurance policy against missing a key episode! - Caleigh
