SmartMute
Device will mute TV when commercial comes up | |
a small device that will mute the tube, when commercial comes up, and unmute when the movie comes back on. Perfect, when you are tired of hearing crappy, loud, obnoxious TV commercials.

I'd really like to see a "partial mute" button that dropped the sound level to whatever you set it to be. |

I wonder why no one has put commercials in books yet. |

SonicBlue(sp?) which created ReplayTV (competitor to TIVO) got sued for detecting and skipping commercials in recorded playback. My brother had one and it detected commercials fairly well although I don't know if it needed to be recorded already to detect (like if it measured time between screen blackouts). |

Corporations would deem this illegal. All
those wasted advertising dollars! |

Commercials are designed catch you off guard. They never have an exact set time as to when they are going to come on. Otherwise everyone would just put a kitchen timer on top of the TV and could anticipate when a commercial break was comming. |
