DVR is the only way to watch sports or anything else for that matter. Some years we watch the Super Bowl with friends or family and it drives me crazy because I can't control the DVR and we just have to watch it live.
I don't necessarily wait an hour for things to start, but I definitely do the DVR thing. This year I'll probably do the same thing I did the last time the Steelers won, fast forward through the thing an watch it in an hour or so because I don't have time to watch the whole thing through.
