Sonarr is a PVR system to download periodic shows from usenet or torrents. You can integrate it with NZBGet and Sabnzbd for usenet and Transmission, ruTorrent and others on your Synology NAS. Sonarr is relatively easy to install but requires a few extra steps to enable advanced options for the repositories. This guide was created using a virtual environment running Diskstation 5.1 so it may not work for older DSM versions.
