Between getting Windows Media Center running on an iMac or automatically getting TV Shows onto your iPod , I'm pretty sure it's the latter option that has Steve Jobs and the television networks fuming right now, which is part of what makes it so much fun (via MAKE). Plus, you're not limited to the TV shows from the networks that are participating in the iTunes "more bucks for less bang" television mafia network.

Long story short (get the long story through the link), this tutorial shows you how to use Bittorrent, RSS and FFMPEG to get TV on your iPod without dropping the $1.99 that Jobs and his crew want from you. Also, since you're podcasting your shows to iTunes, the video files automatically become bookmarkable - letting you stop the video and resume watching it at the same place. This is a really great option that once setup, requires zero intervention afterwards.
