ELI5: How do people make torrents to tv shows with no commercials and in such high quality almost immediately after it has aired on tv?

The video feed to the TV is split to also feed a digital video recorder; the digital video file is broken up into smaller chunks while recording so you are able to edit the earlier footage while new footage is being recorded.  You are able to edit out the commercials this way.  And as soon as the whole episode is completed it's a quick render and package to upload to the internet.
