getMiro: Free, Open-source, Internet TV, Video Player

In between, and often alongside, most of my leisurely activities I watch a lot of television and movies. When the season finales of Lost, Heroes and The Sopranos finally came along a serious vacuum hit primetime TV. Generally this is the time of year that I up my Netflix subscription an catch up on old movies - this summer I decided to do something a bit extra as well.

About partway through May I downloaded the internet TV aggregator currently known as Democracy but soon to be renamed Miro.  While I won't get into some of the conversations covering the name change I have to say that this program has become a major part of my nightly routine.  Democracy / Miro makes downloading internet TV shows easy and rivals iTunes for anyone hunting for video content that's easy to download.

Right now I use Democracy / Miro to nightly to download several of the shows I stream to my XBox360.  If you haven't used this great software yet give it a try and let me know what you think.
