Commercial skipping is an advanced feature in some digital video recorders (DVRs) that makes it possible to automatically skip commercials in recorded programs. This feature has been controversial for the last decade, with major television networks and movie studios claiming it violates copyright and should be banned.   Though not 100% perfect, in other words, sometimes it misses a few commercials automatically.  I have used the Commercial skip feature on ReplayTV to keep my children from having to watch commercials on children’s programs I have recorded for them.   With replay TV you can also download recorded programs from ReplayTV to a PC on your computer network.  ReplayTV can also be used to play many videos stored on the PC server.  Please google for more info on how to setup PC download and a video server.

CNET recently named ReplayTV the top Digital Video recorder (DVR) in a side by side comaprison. CNET Top 100 Products - ReplayTV 5040Home Entertainment: Best Digital Video RecorderUntil recently, the top digital-video-recorder (DVR) slot was occupied by TiVo, Replay's nemesis. However, when our editors did a side-by-side comparison of the two machines, Sonicblue's (ReplayTV) DVR won by a hair. Both Replay and TiVo let you seize control of your TV viewing, cruise through commercials, and record every episode of The Simpsons known to man. But we like Replay's geeky extras, which include built-in Ethernet program sharing and progressive-scan video output.  Read CNET review SHIPPING AND HANDLING Please add $34.95 for shipping and handling.  Shipping rate is valid only in the continental United States.
