How is skipping ads on Tivo any different? The implicit contract of broadcast television is that the ads pay for the content.

I haven't been offered a deal by the advertiser to watch ads for a discount or pay more for no ads (plus I'm paying a subscription for the cable) - not watching TV ads isn't stealing whatever Mr Turner says!

It would be like going to buy a car and saying and asking for a discount because you had seen their ads on billboards along the freeway!
