So as long as you either see the ads, or are inconvenienced by them, it's OK?

How about if my friend hits the mute button for me?

How about if my friend is an android?

a while back I had an idea for an "auto-muter", which would look up audio fingerprints for commercials like shazam does for music. When it identifies a commercial, it emits the MUTE button from an IR transmitter for the prescribed duration of the commercial. Like a poor-mans TIVO. I never built it but all the pieces are already out there.
