So... you recorded 9/11 to watch it later? There *are* occasions when you want 
to watch something as it happens. Like the moon landings, for example (3:30 am 
here in the UK. I was one of the few with a TV. My room was crammed with other 
hostel dwellers).

I agree that myth is primarily a dvr, but that's the way that development has 
been emphasised lately. The "myth" in myth is from "mythical convergence 
device", and we would do well to remember what it is we're supposed to be 
converging: live tv is one of those functions, and our tv habits go back to the 
fifties.
