when something happens in real life and you think for a instant that you'll just back it up and watch it again.
when a funny,unexpected moment takes place and you miss it, so you think "I'll just tivo it back to see it again!" for instance, your at the park and you bend down right when a great play was made. so you try to Tivo it back to see it again.
I miss what they said and i had a "tivo moment " when i thought i'd just replay what they said.

"No man, I'm on TiVo time and the 4th quarter just started."
