What would be great is a way to subscribe to torrents as you do on tivo. So that my shows can be downloaded with out me having to search, Like a virtual tivo, but better. yes, that would be sweet.

TVRss + Miro (formerly democracy) or utorrent, tutorial here http://lifehacker.com/software/bittorrent/hack-attack-get-yo.... You might also want to check out TV-links.co.uk if you prefer convenience over quality. As for a legal option, no idea, joost?
Yes but the UIs are still horrible.
Someone needs to make something so easy a retarted monkey could use the thing and probably not even realize "torrents" were powering the thing.
TV-links is far from horrible, click the show you want and start watching.
Torrents are a non-starter for regular users. Download a .torrent file from one of many tracker sites and open it with the client on your computer is simply too many steps and it's too different from the experience on limewire etc.
