The total amount of minutes accumulated when starting a show on a DVR after it has already started to
air live. Used generally to fast forward all the horrible commercials and horrible
ads no
one wants to see.
For an NBA game, you typically need at least 45 minutes of recorded show before you can
hit "play" (depending on the speed you fast forward) to be able to skip all the commercials and halftime.
Friend 1: Hey, can we start the Cavs basketball game already?!?!
Friend 2: No! We only have
27 minutes of fast forward time, and I don't feel like seeing that annoying McDonald's singing fillet-o-fish
commercial again!
Buddy 1: While we were gone, the football game has been recording for
almost 2 hours!
Buddy 2: Awesome! We got some MAD fast forward time yo!
