Um, because downloading TV shows from Bittorrent sites is, I don't know, ILLEGAL?Xeem said:Great shows, especially SG-1. As Jiggie2g said, however, they would need to be 480p for me to pay for them. Why would people pay for something in 320x240 when it can be found at HD or near-HD resolutions on most torrent sites?

This has been cited by Scifi as one of the reasons the ratings are so low this season on both shows. Downloading and DVRs might kill the franchise. The network has been urging people to watch the episodes "live" instead of TiVoing it if you want there to be more seasons. That being said it's funny they're offering downloads.clayj said:Um, because downloading TV shows from Bittorrent sites is, I don't know, ILLEGAL?

Does SciFi really have anything going for it besides the Stargate franchise and Battlestar?

Yes, and no.aviationwiz said:Do they get more revenue from people watching it "live" instead of recorded on a VCR or DVR? Can they tell if it's being recorded or watched "live"?
Exactly! The network seems to think just as many people are watching this season as they were last season. They just can't tell because few people are actaully watching it the night that it airs.clayj said:It's ironic that better technology that makes it easier/more fun for us to watch our favorite TV shows actually can imperil said TV shows.

I don't count anyways since I don't have cable. The suits are going to have to figure something out instead of canceling everthing that doesn't rate as well as expected.
Dont Hurt Me said:The 200th episode was different for sure, I loved the puppets.
Seeing Amanda Tapping dressed up as Chiara in the Farscape sequence was priceless. And it was great how Willie Garson (the TV show guy) said "Never heard of it" when Vala described it to him.Mr. Anderson said:That was great - I think one of the things that makes SG-1 better than most is that they're not above making fun of themselves.
The whole Arthur/Camelot thing lately has had a few Monty Python jokes and in the first season I think Capt. Carter said something about Col. O'Neill "McGyvering" something
