It happens to everyone: even the most devoted television series fans miss an episode from time to time. Though some die-hard TV devotees plan their whole lives around their favorite TV shows, it stands to reason that life, on occasion, will interfere with ones TV-watching plans. So what is an avid Desperate Wives or Survivor fan to do when he or she forgets to insert a tape in the VCR before going out, thus missing that all-important episode?

Surprisingly, many computer users have never heard of TV download websites. Very simply, TV download sites are something like having a DVD club membership or even a membership at a local video store. TV download sites work like a club membership or subscription service. Users join by providing a little bit of basic personal information, agreeing to a set of terms of usage and paying a membership or subscription fee. This allows the user to have access to scores of TV shows and episodes, which can be downloaded to the user's PC.

"Where can I download TV?" is probably your next question. The Internet is rife with TV download websites. Cursory scans of the list of the top TV download sites may give you cause to think that they are all the same and that it makes the most sense to pick the least expensive one. Before handing over your credit card information, you should first take some time to consider what kind of services you would most benefit from personally. While many TV download websites are similar, most have some subtle differences as well. Some considerations that you should make before you subscribe:

* What will I have access to? Some TV download websites also give you access to movies, televised sporting events, music, music videos, mini-series', games and more. Deciding which of those offerings you might actually take advantage of will help you to determine which TV download website to choose.
* How much am I willing to pay for this service? Prices vary and one reason that they do is that different TV download sites offer different features. There isn't much point in paying a higher subscription fee for access to games and music videos in addition to TV downloads if you never actually end up downloading anything else besides TV shows.
* Do I understand what the "bottom line" is? If you have to pay a fee for every download in addition to the subscription, is this going to work to your advantage? Is it going to cost you more money than simply choosing a TV download site that charges one up-front, flat-rate subscription fee with unlimited access?
* Can I get episodes of all of my favorite TV shows? Not every TV download site offers the same access to TV shows. If you're a fan of the show ER, make sure that you can actually get access to ER before you sign up.
* How long will I reasonably want to use the services of a TV show download site? Many TV download sites offer different subscription packages with access for one year, two years, or more. Some offer smaller time increments than that. Sometimes it's as cheap to go for the longest subscription that is offered, other times it might make more sense to subscribe to a shorter period of access, depending on what you are actually looking for.
* What kind of software/Internet access do I need? Make sure that you have the right software to use a particular TV download website, or that the website offers the software as part of its subscription package (for no extra charge). You should also make sure that your Internet access will work with the TV download site that you choose. Most TV download sites work best with high-speed Internet access.

Now that you know that you can still catch that cliffhanger of a season-ender that you missed because you were stuck in a late meeting. It's just a matter of finding the right TV download website and getting your hands on it.
