Plus, don't they make you look at ads when fast-forwarding? Damed if I'll do that. If my cable company tries to make me, I'll build a PC-based DVR solution. It's bad enough that the NAB has forced the cable companies to make you fast-forward instead of skip ahead. I used to have Dish DVR that let me press a button and skip ahead 30 seconeds. Push that a few times and no commercials at all. But no, that couldn't stand. So the NAB pressured all the DVR makers to remove that feature. They know that if we have to fast-forward through the ads, we'll still see them pretty well. And sadly, they are right.
