OP, you cannot "skip" commercials on LIVE TV, as noted above, using a DVR you can skip over the commercials we do this quite often. Also as noted above you can mute the commercials, but of course you have yo keep an eye on the TV so you know when to unmute. So I guess unless you decide to use a DVR and as noted above record about a third of the program then watch the RECORDED version you have no other choices.

OOPS! I just reread your original post, I do not know of a way to MUTE commercials AUTOMATICALLY. You could try an internet search and you might get lucky, however, any solution will need access to the audio, and if this is muted,,, well you get the idea very difficult.
