Tivo is the answer to a great many things.

Does TIVO have a way to get rid of commercials, or do you still have to fast forward?
ChadTower:
Straight default config, you have to FF. It's not hard to change a remote button definition to 30 second skip, though. Once you get good with the default remote operation it's practically the same thing, you get a real feel for how to FF the commercials in about 4 seconds.

The reason I ask is because when I download Lost, it is usually uploaded to the net from a HD broadcast, the commercials are edited out perfectly (and I mean perfectly), and it is all up on the net within minutes? I figured there must be some ID tag to differentiate between the show and the commercials...or the guys who make the online copies are just that badass and quick. ;D
ChadTower:
There often is but commercial DVRs like Tivo aren't allowed to use it. I do have a dual deck VCR that has a function that will record a show on one deck, and then when it's done, copy it onto the second deck minus commercials, based on some type of "standard blank signal in most regular television shows that indicate start and end of commercials".

Nothing really to add except been there, done that, got the T-shirt (and the baby) to prove it.
Ours loved to watch Wheel of Fortune when just about that age. We let her - figured what the hey, it at LEAST appeals to the intellect a little bit!
