timeshift
Record for later
Timeshift is to record broadcast media for later viewing, decoupling consumption from the scheduled airtime.
The practice became widespread with VCRs and is now standard with DVRs and streaming: I timeshifted the game so I could skip the commercials.
The noun describes this capability or the act itself: DVR timeshift changed how we watch television.
