      Can you, though? Because I remember when DVB started in Europe, they’ve sent a signal during commercials that makes your device block the fast forward feature.

      I don’t know whether that’s still a thing. But you needed a hacked firmware on your TV / set top box to allow to FFWD through commercials back then.

        I’ve never heard of that being the case in America, but I can’t speak to how it works in Europe. That would be lame if it worked that way.
