Ray, Tablo used to offer a premium service first introduced in 2019 that automatically skipped commercials.
That service was discontinued in 2022 as the premium subscription never grew as much as the company anticipated and they couldnt cover the costs of providing the service without that growth in subscriptions.
Tablo does not require a subscription, one is offered that provides a 2 week program guide and improved options like the ability to record a whole series rather than an episode. That subscription costs $5/month, but again, it does not include the commercial skipping functionality.
Channels DVR can still skip commercials, but youre looking at having to set up a Raspberry Pi or similar computer to act as the server, which is not the same experience as buying a polished plug and play device.
Unfortunately, since 2022, your choices to skip commercials on over the air TV got worse.
