Advice needed on website , is it safe or not?

I want to download some tv programs and its taking forever it says 7 days for 10 episodes i wanted.

Is this site safe , it says you pay them and you get it alot faster , i dont want any music or films , just my tv programs , but im not even sure if this site is allowed or not , also if its safe or not and is it true that i can download a lot faster?

ive tried free torrent sites for my tv programs but as i say its taken ages and i dont want to leave my pc on for 7 days straight

    I would say a big NO.

    7 days to download :eek: Its probably just that slow to try and get you to cough up the money to get it faster.

    Ive never downloaded anything :o , not even a song (im only 30 and dont know how to do it :eek: :o so cant reccomend any sites, but im sure someone will come along who can.
    I know my spelling is shocking :eek: It is alot better than it used to be though :rotfl:

    This site is illegally offering downloads of TV shows, movies, games and software. If you really want to do that, don't pay for it.

    Whether it's safe to give criminals your payment details, I'll leave that up to you to decide.

    If you want to watch TV, I can recommend the following:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/
    http://www.itv.com/catchup/
    http://www.channel4.com/4od/index.html
    http://skyplayer.sky.com/

    iTunes also has lots of TV shows available to purchase.

    I thought it was legal as long as u paid for it? plus i only want tv shows thought that wass ok?

    i use the catch up service , the program im after is old ones i wanted to see so not on catch up.

    I will check out the ones on itunes though to see if they have it.

    Thanks:)

    I deffo dont want to download any programs if its illegal to do so , hence why i thought i would ask for advice on here.

    I dont download music or anything just tv programs
  • If they don't own the copyright its not legal for them to charge for it.

    I personally recommend Surf the Channel for streaming tv shows (no downloads). Means I am always 2 steps ahead with Heroes

    It's the online equivalent of buying stolen goods from a man in the pub.

    TV Catchup might as well be added in addendum to Marty's list.
