You sir, admin@findauto-parts.com (from your header, j.rk off) are a
lying Spammer, you didn't 'FIND' anything, you are the scum sucking
company rep!

Only failed companies that can't sell in the real market have to sleaze
Usenet for suckers for their garbage and to start of as a Bald Faced
Liar, well....

You only deserve a Boycott!

Just my $0.02,

I don't mind people/companies announcing their new service once, but I hate
people who "pretend" they "discovered" a new web site that they just
couldn't wait to tell us about. If you are going to spam Usenet, be honest
about it. And ONCE IS ENOUGH, If the service is any good, word will get
around.

Better yet, don't post at all.  If I want to find something, I'm quite capable
of doing so without having some a.shole shoving it in my face.

Nah.  I use a homebrew DVR with software to automatically flag commercials
to be skipped on playback.

Otherwise, I use an invention called the 'mute' button.

I like the Mute button on my tv remote.Greatest invention since sliced
bread.

How does it know when to skip the commercials? I use a DVR with a 1
minute skip button, so I sometimes jump over commercials, but it
requires multiple "jumps" to skip all the commercials chained together
at a break. On the other hand, many times the commercials are actually
better than the programs......

Hey, the delete key works in a similar fashion on Usenet.

On mythtv, the DVR software I use, the skips are configurable.  I use 30
seconds ahead and 7 seconds behind.  Skip forward until the show is back,
and then backup until just before the end of commercials.

For autoskip, the software uses several algorithms ( see http://mythtv.org
for their project page ).  One check senses the blank frames before and
after a block of commercials.  I think the other one senses the accoustic
profile and the visual cut rate.  It locates and marks the commercials
during a separate pass.  On playback, the autoskip can be disabled.  It works
extremely well except that dream sequences cause false positives.  

>On the other hand, many times the commercials are actually

Only the superbowl, maybe, and not since the late 90's.

If the program is worse than the commercials, then why even bother?
