I want a DVD recorder, but can't get an answer to my question - can you fast forward/skip commercials?
Mine has a commercial skip on the remote that automaticaly moves up 30 seconds through each commercial.
It also has fast forward and rewind like a regular DVD player.
What I really like about it is how different recordings you make on a disc are shown in "scene selection" type format so you choose which one you want to watch without looking all over like you would with a VHS tape.
If you are asking if you can cut out commercials during the record function, I don't believe that is possible yet.
