I DVR literally everything. Wait 30-45 minutes, then start watching. No commercials, no halftime breaks, no period breaks for NHL, none of it. Fast-forward through all of it.
I even DVR the 4:30am local CBS news broadcast so that when I get up at 5am, I can fast-forward straight to the weather. If you watch less than 5 minutes of something you have on DVR, they don't get ratings credit for it. So I make sure I only watch the 3 minute local weather spot and then delete it.
