While I suppose you could describe cable as streaming it doesn’t really refute the point about the ability to skip adverts

  What do you mean? What can you do to a cable broadcast that you can't do to an internet broadcast? The comment I responded to suggested that it's impossible to record video delivered over the internet, which is obviously insane. Were you thinking of something different?

    If something appears completely insane isn’t that often a good sign that we might not have understood. The comment you replied to was pointing out that it was possible to record from cable TV with DVRs and that they had a feature to detect commercials and either skip recording them or allow you skip them en masse during playback.

      You left out the freedom that's supposedly missing from streaming now.
