Why can't they come up with a product that "zaps" commercials like those advertised for spam callers/telemarketers?
Attempts have been made. It's pretty hard to do apparently. Really the only thing it matters on is sports. There are plenty of download options to watch anything else completely uninterrupted, albeit not live.

A commercial is a commercial is a commercial.
If I wanted (to know about) said product, I would research/buy said product.
I don't care that a car dealership just got new inventory; I'm not experiencing any health issues to buy your medicine; I don't watch that tv program, so who cares what the next episode's about; I just ate, therefore I'm not interested in your food items; I don't cheer for ____ team(s), so why do I want to know about their upcoming schedule; etc..
It's like when I used to live in an apt. complex, & beside the mailboxes was a garbage can that practically EVERYBODY dumped those weekly fliers we would get.

This is the reason the networks are willing to pay so much for live sports...production costs almost nothing after paying for the rights but it is the only TV programming left which is conducive to people watching with commercials. The same is true for cable news...production costs are nearly nothing compared to a drama or sitcom and it is somewhat live so commercials are a reality.
