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!
We stream everything except jeapordy which we record and fast forward through the commercials. The few time we have to endure a commercial it’s muted and we try to ignore it. Except the pharmaceutical commercials. We try to guess what the product is supposed to cure. Always a challenge.
