If you want to watch a game really fast just watch the short cuts version that DTV puts out later that night or the next day. You'll watch the entire game in 30 minutes.

30 mins

I haven't time myself - but my DVR has a 30 sec skip feature and if I hit it just as a play is ending, I usually end up immediately with the QB under center for the next play -- that makes the game go by very fast.

Yeah I was doing that with the preseason games. Most of the time it works out perfect but sometimes you gotta hit that button that brings you back like 5 seconds.

Bingo.All games, without pauses, just from snap to snap (with the occasional highlight replay)= about 25-30 minutes.

Thanks for the responses.

I just picked the dvr up yesterday, recorded the Titans/Steelers game, and missed the overtime period due to the extended time!

I don't want that to happen with the Giants this weekend!

I just called cablevision and they suggested recording the next program to be sure.

Also, anyone have a dvd recorder? I'm assuming vcr technology is essentially obsolete. How much do they cost and do they have an editing function? Or do you need to hook it up to a computer for that?

Set up your DVR to go 30 minutes past end time on live events.

If you simply skip commercials you can get done in about an hour - that assumes watching replays, and listening in between plays most of the time.

If you pause for nothing but live action, replay challenges & cheerleader shots, 30-35 minutes.

I would say closer to 45-60 mins
