This is a perfect way to spend a weekend. Some people like to record TV shows for future references or rememberances, Miro is a freeware that lets you record Internet TV and download them on to your desktop. Miro is like the TiVo for your computer. 

Search TV shows using the search bar and save them all with ease. The interface merely looks like a Windows Media player. A few preinstalled channels on the left will be displayed. Customize or delete them according to your requirements. Whats more, you can download videos from other websites like YouTube, Metacafe etc.

Every search yields numerous results of which you can select the most viewed, downloaded, rated etc. There are about 5163 channels as of now on Miro. 

You can pause your downloads anytime you like and this is really good since most of the other apps require you to continue your downloads. 

Subscribe to TV channels and continue your downloads and there will be a lot to do over this weekend. Miro is available in OS X, Windows and Linux.
