TiVo to charge money for skipping commercials in your own recordings

TiVo is reportedly planning to end its free automatic commercial skipping feature. The change is scheduled to take effect in November for users. This development comes as the company prepares tests for a paid premium replacement service. Subscribers who previously enjoyed the feature without extra cost may now face charges. The new paid option aims to replace the functionality that is being removed. CordCuttersNews reported on these upcoming changes to the recording platform. Further details on the pricing and exact tier structure remain to be seen. Users of the recording devices will need to decide if the paid option is worthwhile.
