if you can go "back' in time-why can't you go forward as well ? I know that Direct TV had this gadget that they claimed actually did this. You record and football game on DVR about a half hour after the game begins. You know hat little bar at the bottom of your screen that moves up to the point where you reach the present time? Well if you pay enough money-and its a lot-that little bar can keep moving past the point where you have reached "real time". I paid lots of money for that gadget hoping to make it all back on betting what was going to happen in the future. It never worked.
