My last CRT TV had a picture in picture mode. When ads started I pressed the PiP button on the remote, placed the channel I was looking at in the PiP window and started watching something else. When the ads were over I came back to that channel or stayed on the other one if I found something more interesting. I watch TV on my tablet now, streamed from a Raspberry PI with a TV Hat. Again, I activate the popup player, start browsing, maybe checking HN or whatever. I put the volume off. Maybe I start doing something else. The advantage of a tablet is that I can bring it with me wherever I go in my house. The TV, not so much. I rarely switched on my TV in the past two years.
