Torrenting sites/Watch TV Online sites
Yes, I've asked this question before...but things have changed (like NinjaVideo no longer being in existence).

My preference is to be able to watch TV online, but I will download from torrents, if I can't find what I want. For example, I seem to only be able to find True Blood Season 2 on Megavideo, which means I can only watch 72 minutes of a show at a time (lame).

Suggestions?

I prefer direct downloads compared to torrenting. I can usually find shows on filestube, if the show has been removed then it usually comes back up in a week or two. But if you aren't catching up, then that really isn't a problem.

free-tv-video-online.info (they have seasons 1-3 of true blood)
tvshack.cc
videostic.com
tv-links.cc

those are my favourites because i HATE downloading but you should get Hotspot Shield... it changes your IP address so you can keep watching back to back episodes on megavideo (Y)

I get all my online TV from sidereel.com
It's probably the best site out there. Provides normally up to 80 links after a few hours the show has aired (for popular shows like House, GG, etc)

tv-links.cc is the next best.

I have uTorrent setup to automatically DL the shows I watch, If I happen to get home before the DL is done I might stream from IceFilms.info or Megarelease.net (using the icevideo script).

For backlogs, Torrents > Streaming though

is great for most tv shows. Megavideo and non-megavideo trueblood

http://www.fastpasstv.com/
amazing for movies and tv shows
has mostly "Wisevid" and "Zshare" as its links so dont worry about the 72 minute cap on megavideo

I usually download from Demonoid.com. Its a well known Torrent site. They only open registration once in a while and everything is well maintained. If anyone wants any invites i think i have a few left.
