I'm kinda curious what they meant too. Live media is available on demand afterwards these days.

But it is not always available afterwards. Sometimes you have to capture that stream of bits yourself. Without a DVR that’s kind of difficult to do depending on the platform. Though I would def use the term “record” rather than “tape”. (Though you might store it in a tar archive afterwards…)
That's the thing, it doesn't feel like a situation where one would use the verb "tape", so I'm curious what she was referring to.

I mentioned UHF to one of my (younger) coworkers, and he had no idea what that meant...
We've got it all! (We've got it all) On UHF!
Funnily enough, that's how we got to that- several of us going out to lunch, I was driving, so my music, and one of the Weird Al polkas was playing, and he was asking who it was .. even my kids have heard of Weird Al so me and the other old farts are trying to figure out if he's messing with us or really didn't know... So we were listing off Weird Al's works, and UHF came up, we described the plot, he asked if UHF meant something in the context of a TV station, and that's when we old farts crumbled into dust.

Why not have your spirit go live in the last operative Blockbuster in Bend, Oregon?
Instructions unclear. Arrested for attempting to squat inside the last operative Blockbuster in Bend, Oregon. Turns out, the courts do NOT accept "childhood nostalgia" as a legal defense against breaking and entering.
I forgot how tapes work, and pulled on a loose tape hanging out of a bag, messing it up.
… I have no concept of what you mean, having not forgotten how tapes work.
