Silly boy, why would I want to suffer 15 minutes of commercials when I
can just fast forward.
Try it, I'm sure you'll agree the rental of a digital recorder is
worth the money.
BTW...we record all the series we favour for later playback.
We DVR'd the new Cosmos series for that reason, so we could skip the
commercials. Loved the series, and the emphasis in several episodes on
evolution is still driving the "Cretins of Creationism" down here
crazy..they *demanded* equal time to sell their religious
stuporstitions. But National Geo turned them down. 
What a segue. Couple of people discussing DVRs quickly eases into an
anti-religion rant by Harry. Typical.
Science and religious stuporstition tend not to mix well. The
stuporstitious tried to horn in on the new Cosmos series and were turned
down. That's worth mentioning. Apparently the creationists are afraid
the new series is going to find its way into the public schools, and
without the anti-evolution nonsense they sell.
