There are two main services for legally viewing TV episodes on-line--
www.hulu.com and www.veoh.com. But it is hit or miss if the content you want
will be made available, and there are restrictions-- they may limit the program
to viewers from US ip addresses, and they don't "allow" downloading-- you can
only watch the streaming video, without "officially" being able to save it (of
course there are always tools for getting around it, but even if you could save
it, the video isn't really top quality.) The science channel itself puts some
videos on-line for viewing http://science.discovery.com/ but-- from just a few
seconds of playing with it-- there seems to be no way to make it full screen and
no way to fast-forward or rewind on the video. And you still may be restricted
on where you can view it.

Your best bet is probably to keep an eye out on http://thepiratebay.org/ for the
next few days following the broadcast in case someone posts it.
