I do nearly the opposite: I record every TV programme I want to watch, then watch it at my leisure. That way I can skip through all the adverts, which I loathe [1]. Freesat in the UK allows recording of radio series as well, which Sky cannot do, so it's easy to capture late-night series and listen to them at my convenience. I have something like 600 radio programmes on my satellite box. 1. Mind you, UK TV adverts are nowhere near as gross as the screeching horrors I was subjected to in Minneapolis 30 years ago. -- Regards, Peter.
