> sit through 22 minutes of mind-numbing commercials
Commercial detection and skipping has worked well for me via MythTV for nearly twenty years at this point.
Seems like there’s a free startup idea in there somewhere. $100 worth of equipment and a webapp and now your parents can watch network TV, local news, sports, and weather without ads.
You can’t skip live without a time machine.
You can disable the audio and replace the video.
Alternatively, you start the game 22 minutes / hour late.
It’s all about trade-offs but attention is being under-valued imho.
