Not to burst your bubble, but I recently ditched Comcast/Xfinity for Internet TV. I tried several providers, and found that Xfinity provided the most permissive interface for skipping commercials on my DVR recorded content.
I settled on YouTube TV, however their policy regarding commercials is even worse than Comcast.
For example, if I record something to my YT DVR, AND the show is also available "on demand" YT will force me to watch the ON Demand version (with unskipable ads), or will block me from skipping commercials on the DVR version.
Whereas Comcast restricted skipping commercials on On Demand content, they did not force me to watch the On Demand version, and did not block my ability to skip commercials.
Hulu Live TV blocks commercial skipping completely on DVR content.
- butterfi 8y agoMy point is that I believe people would appreciate less ad time. Tools for skipping ad time are a band-aid rather then a solution.
