I've seen many devices that mute the sound and I seem to remember one that substituted music during the commercials. Using your smartphone during the commercials is only a distraction and not a real solution. I notice some sports bars have a service called TAIV that apparently replaces commercials with something else. Please make some comments!

You can’t skip commercials on something that has not aired yet, plus I think it’s illegal to automatically leave out commercials as that is how everyone gets paid.
Out YouTube TV will record every show every time. I put in my favorite teams and it finds them wherever. It even seems smart enough that when a sporting event goes base the normal end time I.e. overtime in football, it keeps saving it. Now with YouTube TV, the show is not reallly DVR’d on a local HD, I think there is a pointer at the show in the cloud just for you and then it streams it down. I probably have a 1000 shows “saved” and have probably only seen 5% of commercials in the last 10 years by skipping thru. YouTube TV has a 10 second skip option… so click the remote about 15 times and you are at the very end, go to far, click back button for 10 seconds. I did watch the 2nd half of the MNF with commercials last night as I was not waiting for the 1.5 hours of commercials to end to start watching at 10:30PM.
