So far uTorrent is working very well. It allows you to set up a filter to get the shows you want... keeps track of which episodes have been d/l'ed etc.
(BTW: Only the windows version has the RSS downloader... the Mac version doesn't have it yet)

Same here... I record 95% from free network channels... basically a few SciFi shows (Stargate, Warhouse 19) and BBC Americe (DrWho) and Comedy Central (The Daily Show and Colbert). I figure if I drop the TV portion of my service (FiOS) I will save about $700/yr also. I figure getting an antenna installed would be about $150. Although I might bump up my Internet from 20/5 to the next level 25/25.

For me it is mostly now to decide just what equipment I want to use to watch this stuff on my TV. I'm undecided on a Mac Mini running Plex, an Apple TV with ATV Flash, a Boxee Box (not out yet) or just sticking with TiVo and setting up a windows PC running uTorrent and PyTivo.

I want to have it all set up (antenna, media server, etc) and working before I cancel my TV service.
