or DVR the show, watch later and skip thru the commercials while
recording to a disc which takes up very littl;e storage space


On an hour show there are usually 21 minutes of commercials.


I've found 15 to 19 minutes (except on PBS, where it's 4 to 8).

And remember if you have an HD DVR and record a lot of HD shows, your
rated recording capacity is about half of the advertised.
