For the sprint stages my DVR is programmed for the evening broadcast with Al and Bob (yeah, I know). THat way I'll get the fully edited version of the events all the way to the finish. When they get into the mountains I'll set up a manual recording of the live broadcast with lots of padding. My wife and I try to remain unspoiled until we watch it, and we don't start watching until after the kids are in bed. Makes for some late nights on mountain stages, even with the ability to skip commercials.
But really, the fact that they aren't sending HD over the Versus HD channel is a crime. Those mountain stages would look so much better in HD.
