    Way back in the day when I used SageTV to record live TV there were programs that would automatically identify commercials and skip them for you. Computers are way more powerful now so I doubt it will be long before there’s and app that automatically downloads your favorite YouTube channels and prescans the videos to skip the ads.

      Still using comskip.exe today although it seems to be having more trouble than it used to.

      I usee to wait by the VHS player and manually press pause while recording tv shows. In ironic retrospect, I find old 80s-90s commercials to be more kino than the tv shows I recorded.
