Is there a way to record a replay on custom maps?

I'm trying to figure out why my triple timing is off, so I figured I could record and watch it back in third person.  I get an error that says 'replay not supported on listen servers.'   Is there a way around this or a way to record and watch it back in third person?

Thanks

record a demo

open console and type 'record [put a name for your demo here]'
when you want to stop recording, type stop in console

to play the demo file, press shfit + f2 or type 'demoui' in console to open the demo UI. Click load, and look for your recording, which will be [name you entered].dem. Open the file, and boom. It'll be like spectating a server, so just go to your cam and watch yourself in 3rd person. Shift + f2 for controls like slowing down playback, pausing, or going to a specific tick in the demo.

Hope this helps

The recording works but I can only change camera views via console.  What is the command to go free roam with the camera?

It appears as though I'm in 3rd person with tv_record, but I cannot move around.  I'm just sitting outside of the map unable to move the camera.
