Yes I am one of those viewers that they never count in the numbers. Why? Because most of my TV watching is done off of the DVDR HD.
A good one on me happened yesterday.
Sad as it is I missed the most important plays of the game between the 49er and the Saints in their playoff game January.
As I usually do, I set the game to record and ignored watching it until 45 minutes from the start. I turned the TV to the recorded part and watched the game.. zooming past the commercials, and the half time nonsense. In setting up the recording, I always agree to add 30 minutes to the game length so that if the game goes overtime (over 3 hours) which they now do when ever their is a passing team, I would be covered. This time, 30 minutes was not enough.
As I was watching my delay, the thirty minutes had expired at 2 minutes of playing time left on the game clock.
Those of you who watched the game, know that I missed the 2 most important minutes. My time machine had expired and there was no way to watch the last 2 minutes because when I went back to regular on air watching.. it was the post game show.. rats!
I had left the game when Alex Smith had moved the 49ers across the field and scored. What I missed was the Saints came roaring back and took the lead. I also missed the tension piece where a decision had to be made to go for the win or kick for a tie to send it all into overtime,
Where were the Buffulo Wings guys to turn on the sprinklers so that could still see the end? I wasn't at the right place at the right time... So I have to take your word for it... It was another memorable catch in the end zone for the 49ers that snatched the game from the jaws of defeat.
Oh well.

We were at IKEA. While waiting outside the bathroom a man walked by talking to his sister. "It doesn't look good, he agonized... they are ahead by one, three minutes to go!" I think he was watching on a small portable t.v. or listening to the radio. Driving home, we noted that we didn't even know who won, but then we passed a huge digital sign on HWY 101.. Congratulations was written in big 49er colors. I guess that told US!
