While FIRST and NASA do their best to get the archive up quickly, there is no guarantee as to the timing for this to occur. For this reason, many teams (as Greg has previously mentioned) will choose to record the broadcast off NASA-TV or the NASA-TV website.
We receive the broadcasts directly from the satellite and record them on two devices: a VHS recorder and also onto a Mini-DV camera. This provides instant playback during discussion of the game, so that we don't "interpret" what was said and begin making false assumptions. It is quite common to playback the game description 4 to 5 times to capture ONLY those words used to describe it. After we have filtered out our assumptions, and identified the basic facts of the game, we are more open to begin thinking about and brainstorming for it.
