regular commercial tv or listen to commercial radio
stations because i turn them off when commercials come
on (too loud, too obnoxious, too ignorant, etc).

I run mythtv which does a very good job of autoskipping commercials.

Everything I watch is timeshifted. If a show I like is played at any time
on any channel, It'll get recorded. Sometimes a show will go off the
air but return a year later and it'll start recording it again.
