Just curious because I donā€™t see people talk about it a lot.

You mean OTA TV? I donā€™t even watch sports, the rest has 10 minute advertisements. And considering itā€™s digital, I donā€™t find it interesting at all. Yes, a weird reason, but anyway.

For like $150, you can get a Tablo DVR or similar that records what you want to watch, auto skips the ads, and streams it over WiFi to your phone or laptop. Just leave it on for a year and boom: entire season of whatever show is now yours forever for free.

How do you skip live ads unless youā€™ve pre-buffered at least 1hr in advance

You donā€™t, but that only applies to sports or things that you need to watch live.

Eh. Thereā€™s also the serendipity of it. Thereā€™s a half dozen shows that we regularly watch that we only know about because they were randomly on TV.
