With the large number of DVRs out there, youda thunk that the broadcast industry would have taken advantage of the switch to digital to implement some rudimentary flags that tell DVRs when a show has ended (and when it is starting too) so that people wouldn't miss the end of their favorite show.
The natural extension to this would be flags that say when the commercials are starting and ending. This could be used by DVRs to allow people to skip (which of course the broadcasters would not want), or it could be used to prevent skipping (which the broadcasters would love).
