Commercial-Free Television on your PC, even with Vista!

Commercial Skip Add-in as part of the install.  Reboot after this, and then make sure the rest of your setup is correct.  That’s it!

Start playing a Recorded TV program and Media Center will give you a prompt about Commercial Skip.  Say Yes to process it and before the first commercial (in most cases, generally takes 5-8 minutes) the show will be entirely processed and skip over the commercials without any fast forwarding. For newly recorded shows, FileWatcher runs in the background and automatically runs ComSkip on the files.  So the next day you go to watch them, the ComSkip scanning has already happened.

If you are in Vista, remember to read Mike’s article on getting Commercial Skip working.  Both are free, although donations for both are well worth it.  ComSkip Donations & DVRMSToolbox Donations.

And remember, DVRMSToolbox does so much more!  Convert to WMV, Convert to MPEG, Sync to PocketPC’s, etc.

So, have you tried out DVRMSToolbox and are you using Commercial Skip?  If not, what exactly are you waiting for?
