Some people regularly watch their "local" - 1000 miles away - news and weather while on a long vacation, something I don't understand but this is what they do.
PVR takes care of commercials, you just click Skip button 5 times. I don't watch anything without PVR now, commercials are too irrelevant and make every show or movie half an hour longer.
