Your question raises an interesting issue I get into. We switch between Indiana and Florida, 6 months each. YTTV asks that you declare your "home" location which you can change I believe only twice/year. For ex...I'm in Indiana now and have set my home location here. I can watch the local channels, no problem, I can record them as well. So I can record a Colts game and start watching it shortly after and while the game is still on. Now when we go to Florida in October -- if I switch my "home" location to TV, then I can no longer record a Colts game unless it is nationally televised..... but I can record and watch in session a Bucs game that is televised on Orlando station. Now where it gets tricky--In October we return to our Florida house and I do not change my home location of my YTTV account. Viola (sort of), I can record a Colts game televised in Indiana (IF I've set it up as a favorite to record anytime televised) -- catch is that I cannot watch the recording "in session" but have to wait until the scheduled end of the game. After about 3 months of being out of "home" location, YTTV starts making me declare my status as just travelling in order to start watching PLUS I cannot record a program broadcast from Orlando station if I've previously set it up to record in Indiana. So I max out the time I can watch "out of home location" and finally surrender in Jan-Feb to really being in Florida (YTTV finally catches me.)

Sorry for the long-winded explanation, but it does get tricky to manage with the moving back and forth. Keeps me mentally young I guess. But we do like YTTV.
