Being able to skip ads means that there is coding stating when the adverts
start and stop.
Many moons ago there were rumours about SKY wanting to STOP people from
skiping the ads in the same was as you cant skip the Copyright warning on a
DVD.
The codes that can be used to "jump over" a portion of a
broadcast could
equally easily be used to "force you" to watch them :-(
Just thought I would point that out.
