Channel Surfing After Dark: Your Free, But Not-So-Easy Options
- The DVR Dance: This is a classic move for those who've mastered the art of television time travel. If you have a DVR, you're probably already doing a victory dance. Just be prepared to fast-forward through all those commercials... unless you're really into the latest insurance jingle.
- Hitting the High Seas (of Content): There's a vast ocean of online content out there, and sometimes you can find NFL game replays... ahem... floating around. Just be careful, some websites might be more like a rickety raft than a sturdy pirate ship, so sail with caution, matey!
Word to the Wise: These free options can be unreliable and might come with, ahem, "quality" issues.
Tip: Remember, the small details add value.
