i was searching around for online tvguides when i came across another ad, for dish and their dvr plus commercial skip, although the ad just say (in fine print) the customer must enable it. that sounds fishy.
i thought commercial skipping was no longer legal.

It was never illegal. ReplayTV went backrupt before the case was ruled upon. Then other early manufacturers removed the feature when threatened with a lawsuit. Dish re-enabled the feature a year or so ago. The broadcasters quickly filed lawsuits. Disney and Dish recently came to some sort of agreement:

Courts recently ruled agains Fox:

Ironically, Dish even advertizes the feature on TV now.
This is why product placement ads are becoming more and more common, and "bugs" are getting bigger and bigger.Last edited by jagabo; 20th Mar 2014 at 16:14.
