I have 3 PCs with the ATI All-in-Wonder in them recording stuff constantly with one of them recording straight to a pocket pc format so all I have to do is flop it in my card reader and go. Problem is I never have time to watch them. But hey, big hard drives are cheap these days.
I want to be careful because discussions of certain downloading activities are frowned-upon here, but Canada seems to have a much more consumer-friendly copyright situation than the U.S. In some countries it is fine to download shows and movies for you own personal use, as long as you don't profit from the activity.

If you are in BC as in British Columbia you might want to consider a bittorrent client for your home PC, a program like bitcomet or utorrent. Popular shows like Lost, Joey, Family Guy, etc. show up almost immediately on bittorrent networks and should take less than an hour for you to download if you have broadband. Many are captured in HDTV and transcoded to high quality DIVX. If you wish, simply recode to whatever resolution you prefer for your Axim.

Of course you should only do this if it is legal in your country.
