The DVR with the Sunday ticket is KING.
I record all games even when going. To be honest, watching the game on TV is often better then being at the game. Using the DVR gives me instant rewind to watch one play or part of a play over and over. Or to watch it frame by frame.
When someone tells me he saw a play ONE TIME and knows what happened I rarely believe it. It just is not humanly possible.
It is interesting how the play by play guys can be a help the can confuse people. Every Monday i see Threads started that such and such missed a block or should of caught that pass because the announcer said it and he was dead wrong. They make split second comments and very rarely correct themselves, a few do but most do not.
I like to watch games alone and I will often not start watching it when it really starts, I'll wait a hour or so. Even with watching rewinds of a lot of plays, the fast forwarding though commercials always catches me up the end of the game. I just have to be careful not to watch anything else live so often I will switch back and forth between two games I want to see.
I will try to keep notes of interesting or important plays or calls that the announcers get wrong because I know someone is going to make a comment in a post about it. This way when I watch the game a second time, I know the times and plays I'm looking for.
Years go I called using a DVR "Recording for Dummies", I thought recording on DVDs was the thing. But things like the rewind feature makes the DVR great.
