I have been using a HD DVR for about a year now and have gotten very proficient with it. Not only is it great for capturing all the shows you really want to see, its playback scanning goes beyond skipping commercials, I even skip out entire portions of some shows now, like skipping guests I dont want to see on Leno and Conan. I can see more shows in less time and see only what I want to see and when I want to see it now. Way better than the old "try to find something good thats on now" technique of the past and sitting thru boring commercials and guests. for this reason I prefer to watch all my shows off the DVR captures instead of live if possible. jco

I still get paid:-). And as you can tell by the discussions on this list, a lot of people have just barely discovered broadcast television. Tivo is on the far horizon for most. By the time it's widespread, we'll have a workaround. In fact, we already do: the embedded commercial. Coming to a set near you soon!
