Founder Michael Posted August 5, 2014 Founder Share Posted August 5, 2014 Me and my wife are TV shows Junkies lol I got a whole automatic setup (maybe another thread detailing it in the future) going on on my HTPC that downloads the shows, sorts them and displays them nicely in XBMC w/o intervention. So, here's my list of favourites, running and finished : Game Of Thrones (of course ) Hell on Wheels Ray Donovan Orange Is The New Black Weeds True Blood True Detective Sons of Anarchy Battlestar Galactica Six Feet Under Entourage The Good Wife Big Bang Theory Modern Family Brooklyn Nine Nine Homeland Walking Dead Hannibal It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Mad Men Parks & Recreation The Newsroom Vikings Breaking Bad Californication Dexter Fringe House Spartacus Prison Break Sopranos 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator angerthosenear Posted August 5, 2014 Moderator Share Posted August 5, 2014 I don't watch TV at all. But I sure do watch a lot of anime (so JP TV I guess lol). I'm up for reading about your automated system however @@!I was thinking about doing the same thing but for grabbing anime, but I have to wait for internet to ever arrive in my area xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Michael Posted August 5, 2014 Author Founder Share Posted August 5, 2014 I won't make a detailed config post for now but basically what i use is :A newsgroups subscription (i use supernews.com)A good nzb indexer ( i use nzbs.org) SABnzbdSickBeardXBMCInstalling and configuring all these will give you 99% automation.Sickbeard monitors the TV Shows that you watch and once a new episode is out will notify sabnzbd to start downloading it, once it's downloaded it's processed and XBMC is notified to update library and show the fresh episode in the list. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iloveb00bs Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 boobs. the setup is what I listen a few posts back. do you have a newsgroups subscription?No I don't. Not even sure what that is exactly. Relayed on cable mostly but decided to drop everything for Netflix and Hulu a few months back to save money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Michael Posted August 6, 2014 Author Founder Share Posted August 6, 2014 No I don't. Not even sure what that is exactly. Relayed on cable mostly but decided to drop everything for Netflix and Hulu a few months back to save money.newsgroups is a paid service (usually, some Internet providers give it for free but it almost always sucks), costs around 10 bucks a month. it lets you download shows/movies/games with amazing speed. kind of bitorrent but better. check out supernews.com once you have an account the rest is quite straight forward. you configure sick beard to monitor all the shows you like, once a show is released it notifies your a newsgroup client (just like utorrent for torrents), best one is sabnzbd and once the episode is downloaded it notified xbmc to refresh library and show the episode. so you'll need 1. newsgroups subscription 2. install and configure sabnzbd 3. install and configure xbmc 4. install and configure sickbeard that's pretty much it. I can help you out during the process, just don't have time to create a step by step. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also watch some regular stuff like Bones, Criminal Minds, Mentalist etc. Graceland and Suits are also good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I don't watch TV. The only series I followed last year was South Park. Gonna watch the new season as well. Starting next month Haven't seen this listed here... nobody watching? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Michael Posted August 10, 2014 Author Founder Share Posted August 10, 2014 haven't watched South park since 2001 I think. is it funny yet? hahaha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 It sure is, at least imho. Especially their references on very recent topics. Since they don't produce the episodes in advance they can easily react and comment on things that are in the news at the time a new episode gets released. If you like Game of Thrones you really have to watch at least some episodes of the last season... it's a brilliant parody of GoT (among other things, e.g. the console war... simply hillarious ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
