I'm impressed by the ingenuity but distressed that you have to go to
those lengths. But TV ads really do kill the atmosphere of a
programme. My Panasonic PVR has a really cool editing fucntion that
you can use to scan through a show even before you've watched it
looking for the channel idents so you can remove ads.
I usually record the show during my morning walk. It doesn't take much
time at all to ad the chapter markers. I'll have to look but bet your
PVR is banned in the US. Broadcasters hate devices like that. They
hate the Dish Hopper for the same reason. Comcast had a "secret" 30
second skip you needed to set up and their OnDemand of shows still have
unskippable ads. But they still had the 5 minute skips. Since most
breaks were 4 minutes just hit the 5 minute skip then back up one
minute. ;-)
Or if you have money to burn just buy episodes without ads on Amazon,
VUDU or iTunes at $3 a pop for HD or the whole season at about a discount.
