There is a serious drawback to watching a recording of a game while it is recording, it stops when the EPG says it will stop,
not when the game actually ends. I missed the end of a Superbowl game once when I was watching about 20 minutes behind real
time, and the game went into overtime. This is not an acceptable solution for sporting events that can be delayed (rain in
baseball or auto racing) or extended (overtime in football, or extra innings in baseball).
