So... you recorded 9/11 to watch it later? There *are* occasions when you want to watch something as it happens.

I live in Southern California.
Last fall we had a particularly nasty fire storm roll through town. Maybe you caught it on the news. <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QYT3ASpKSU>
Our house was directly down wind and right in the path of the fire.

News coverage was spectacular but of little use for determining exactly where the fire was heading.
Using MythTV, I was able to record four broadcasts and by jumping between them and studying mapquest, determine if and when it was time to hop in the car and run.
Had I been "channel surfing" I most probably would have missed the aerial shots that showed landmarks I recognized in order to track the fire's progress.
I didn't hear about 9/11 until I was in my car, on the way to work... don't watch TV workday mornings...
