  No, it’s worse. With a cable DVR you can skip all commercials.

    DVR is the equivalent of having a yt-dlp frontend that includes SponsorBlock.

    Can you, though? Because I remember when DVB started in Europe, they’ve sent a signal during commercials that makes your device block the fast forward feature.

    I don’t know whether that’s still a thing. But you needed a hacked firmware on your TV / set top box to allow to FFWD through commercials back then.

      I’ve never heard of that being the case in America, but I can’t speak to how it works in Europe. That would be lame if it worked that way.
