Another big fan of a Tivo-type device. We simply don't watch any TV that isn't first recorded. Even if we come across something that we want to watch right now, we record it, and go away for 15 minutes. That allows us enough forward time to be able to zip through the comercials. And JoeM: Tivo doesn't erase the commercials. It just allows you to hit the "Go Forward 15 seconds" button, which you can then push 6 to 8 times in rapid succession to get to the next segment of what you're watching. Takes about 4 seconds total each advertisement section. Once you get used to this method, it's the only way to watch anything on cable/dish.
