I always mute commercials but I record many shows so I can play a 30 minute one in 15 - 20 minutes rather than waste part of my life waiting for commercials to end.
Way back in the early 1970's I ran wires from the TV's speakers under the carpet to a switch in a box within reach of my easy chair so I could turn off the sound during commercials. It was the Model T of mute buttons.
Ever notice commercials are broadcast louder than shows and with better fidelity?
