So much of what is on TV is now available online. There is no real need to be at home at a certain time to watch your favorite shows anymore. Most people either DVR them or watch them online. If you are unsure  on how to watch something online  you should find a Digital TV On Your PC site and look it over. It should answer any questions you may have about digital TV or TV online in general. I have only watched a couple episodes of anything online but it seems to be much faster without the commercials or interruptions.
