time-shifting

Watch it later

Time-shifting is watching or listening to recorded content at a different time than its original broadcast.

The DVR enabled mass time-shifting of television: I time-shifted the game and watched it after dinner.

The term extends to any rescheduling of media consumption to suit personal convenience rather than fixed programming schedules.
