There was an ad-skipping feature of early DVRs that reacted to a sudden increase of volume. Yup, TV stations would broadcast the ads louder than the shows.

- NegativeLatency 2y agoMy parents still use a TiVo and it as ad skipping features: https://tivoidp.tivo.com/tivoCommunitySupport/s/article/SkipMode?language=en_US https://tivoidp.tivo.com/tivoCommunitySupport/s/article/Skip... I think the ads might be manually tagged, which would be a lot easier with hundreds of broadcast shows, instead of thousands/millions of random videos on youtube.
- Loughla 2y agoSweet Christ that brings up horrible memories of scrambling across the living room to turn down the volume on a knob when I was seriptitiously watching late night tv. The volume on the shows were good, but the damn commercials were SO LOUD. I blame a local car dealer for most of my groundings as a child.
