I haven’t been able to use my TiVo for years, after my cable company stopped supporting cable cards. Today comes news that TiVo — the once-great company that made DVRing a standard — is removing its one button ad break skip functionality in favor of a subscription service that lets you do the same thing, just for more money.
We are also excited to share that in November we will be testing a new Premium Auto Commercial Skip add-on service. You’ll have the opportunity to try the service for free for 30 days and decide if it is right for you. After the 30-day trial period, you will have the option to opt in and add it to your TiVo account for an additional monthly fee.
Wow.
