Anyone who cut the cord a women or live with a women? I live with my girlfriend and don't watch our cable except for live sports and the occasional show I can't (easily) torrent. But my Girlfriend has no way to get all her favorite cooking shows. Those don't show up as torrents - I think cause most people who rip TV shows are men/nerds.

My girlfriend and I replaced cable with Netflix and internet TV (Food Network is online, plus lots of youtube stuff and other channels with food shows). FWIW, many nerds I know love cooking (including myself), so finding good shows (not crappy reality TV meets cooking) was a necessity. Netflix definitely keeps my girlfriend more occupied than me, but for $8/m and lots of variety, it's the way "cable" is (or should be) going.

> finding good shows (not crappy reality TV meets cooking) was a necessity

I just searched for the my GF's 3 favorite cooking shows, and found ~8 torrents, total, for two of them and zero for the other. Granted Good Eats, a more "nerdy" cooking show, has every single episode available for its 14 season run on the private TV torrent tracker website. My girlfriend is pretty girly and not nerdy at all, so her "style" of show is hard to find.

I was also unable to find those shows on Food Network's website - perhaps I missed them? Could you point me in the right direction? And even if they are online, getting that content to my TV is difficult - certainly harder, at least, than a torrent playing through Plex on my Mac Mini.
