Fox Sports, FS1, FS2, etc. Live without Ads?

I've had no problems for a while now getting live streams from Fox Sport website. (The code below is expired, but it should still give an idea of what the links are I'm copying.)

In the past, the downloads were ad-free, but about a week or so ago the downloads are the entire stream as if you watched it, commercials and all.
Any suggestions for this?

Did you try to record live streams before? When you record live stream, you will get the ads also in every streaming you rec.

They can remove the ads of content over demand, but never on live streamings.

I've recorded live streams before from them.
The weird thing was always if I got the .m3u8 during a sporting event, n_m3u8dl-re stopped recording during commercials and resumed when the event returned. If I got an m3u8 DURING a commercial break, then it recorded the commercials like it does now.

Maybe they 'fixed' something or my browser's adblock is missing an update, I don't know.

Edit: Actually, maybe only something minor has changed. I've noticed some of my 2 hour web-dl's are 1:41-1:42 but other streams are less shortened. I wonder if some commercials are blockable but not others.
