You should be considered an economic terrorist. You're stealing from hard working network executives who are just trying to support their families. You should be shipped off to Gitmo. Sorry... couldn't resist

DVRing shows for personal use in your home is not illegal, whether you fast forward through the commercials or not. This was established long ago in the Betamax case. |

You have the right to skip the commercials (or leave the room while they are playing). All the sponsor buys is the right to have their ad transmitted so it can be potentially viewed - Not the right to force it to actually be viewed. So long as the commercial is actually transmitted and recorded (if the show is not being viewed in real time) they have gotten what they paid for. |

Oh the humanity! LOL 
They might only be able to afford to lease a Gulfstream 4 for their next vacation instead of a Gulfstream 5. (Wasn't it Brittney Spears who spewed some garbage like that when whining about people pirating music? Couldn't resist.)

A sane approach to our federal budget: NO tax increases / 15% cuts across-the-board / defunding of all ObamaCare-enacted programs. |

EARTH | There's some software solutions out there that do it on MCE, but they are buggy and tricky to set up. A relatively small number of people have them set up and working. |
