Neftlix has an ad free plan. I would be surprised if you could FF through ads if you weren't paying for ad free.

On other services (Hulu, maybe YTTV) some content requires ads to be seen even on the ad free plan.

So odds are two out of three you won't be able to FF through the commercials.
Football games on TV come with commercials though. So if you're getting "ad-free" on a livestream that comes with commercials, won't you still get those commercials? Or would you end up with a blank screen with nothing showing at all, until the commercials end?

I've never had ad-free anything other than Youtube music before, but that's never live-streamed.
