Live TV is still the best way to watch live events. Sports and live news broadcasts etc.

If you want to watch a prerecorded show then skipping is feasible but for watching a live event at a distance (proper tele-vision) it’s obviously not.

I don’t think many fans of live sports TV would consider watching the game starting 20 minutes after to be able to skip commercial breaks.

This is a good point. Not really being much of a sports fan myself it's not a problem that had occurred to me.

I guess it depends on the type of programmes you watch.
