As for TV, which we use a Roku TV, as I will not pay cable and give my money for junk like CNN. With Roku, I simply mute when commercials play and do other things. If I forgot to unmute on-time, I can rewind and see what I missed.

As for commercials: Dear advertisers, showing the same commercials 5,000 times in every commercial break, about women pads (I am a man) is a total waste of your time and your effort. I miss the days when commercials were very varied about many common day-to-day items and services, from different foods, fashion, to vacation places, etc. It was actually informative and interesting. Today, commercials, over and over and over and over are for 5 things: cars, gambling, some medicine I do not need, diapers and 1-2 other things I do not need.
A few, very few commercials are worth watching.........once.
