Where are you seeing that? If it's anything like Sling or PS Vue you're not skipping ads, you're streaming live TV.

The Verge confirms you can skip ads:

And it's got an infinite DVR. I almost never get to actually watch TV live. Hell, even when I watch TV live, I prefer to pause, go to the bathroom, get something to drink, and then skip commercials.

I'm just saying - if I can skip commercials automatically, or without much pain, that'd be very nice.

The ad skipping sounds just for the DVR. Which is fine for shows you don't need to see live, but you're not doing it for sports or first-run content (what would you even be skipping to?).
