How to Categorize TV Shows on the iPod
Before 2005 the iPod only played music. Since then, however, you now have the ability to download and watch your TV shows right after they air. As of December 2009, iPod models that play video can store between 8 and 200 hours of video, depending on which model you have. With that much video, it's important that you're able to find the video you want to watch when you want to watch it. By changing your organization settings in your iPod, you can sort your videos by name, date, title and a large number of other categories.
