PlayOn has already taken a step in that direction, they reduce the audio level 
by 50% for what PLayON determines is a commercial.

I understand that part of the Boxee/Hulu squabble was that Boxee had the 
capability of eliminating, or at least identifying, commercials, though I ted 
to not believe anything I hear about that dispute.

The funny thing is, most people I talk to are perfectly happy to sit through 
the Hulu commercials, they are few and short, and some are actually cute. 
It's the 2 or 4 minute infomercials we see on commercial TV that seem to 
really bother people.

But we're getting WAY OT here :-)
