This may be old hat to some of you, but with my recent purchase of my Pioneer 533hs I recorded the Super Bowl even though I was watching it live. It allowed me to replay anything I wanted as the game was unfolding. And when my wife had supper ready, I just hit 'Pause', ate with her and then went right back to watching the game as if it was live. I was able to fast forward through a few things and eventually caught up to the game before it was done. This is just so cool!!!!
