:: COMMERCIAL ADVANCE
If you ever wanted to watch TV without commercials, then COMMERCIAL
ADVANCE is what you’ve been waiting for. COMMERCIAL ADVANCE is a
feature that allows you to choose whether to skip most commercial messages dur-
ing playback of recorded shows. Commercials are still recorded with COMMER-
CIAL ADVANCE enabled, though you now have the choice to watch them or
not—automatically.
Commercials will not be skipped during the first and last two minutes when play-
ing back recorded shows. This is to prevent confusion when playback is first
started. Additionally, shows delayed within a few minutes of the live broadcast
will not skip commercials, even if COMMERCIAL ADVANCE is enabled. You
can still watch recorded shows with commercials by turning COMMERCIAL
ADVANCE off.
Setting COMMERCIAL ADVANCE Default
Follow these steps to set your default to play back each show commercial free. If you do this, you won’t have to enable COMMER-
CIAL ADVANCE for each individual show.
1
Press MENU on the ReplayTV remote control.
2 Select Setup.
3 Select Default Playback Options.
4 Set the Skip commercials option to Yes to enable the COMMERCIAL ADVANCE feature.
Turning COMMERCIAL ADVANCE on and off
Follow these steps to turn COMMERCIAL ADVANCE on and off for individual recorded shows.
1
Highlight a show in the Replay Guide and press SELECT to display the show’s pop up menu.
2 Highlight the Skip commercials option and press SELECT to check or un-check the show.
3 Select Play or Play from beginning and the show will be played with or without commercials, depending on the setting you
chose.
• Due to variations in the video stream while using a standard
antenna, there may be instances when the COMMERCIAL
ADVANCE feature will not properly detect commercials.
