Padding creation delay - Waiting to hit play on a recorded show just so you can skip

Waiting to hit play on a recorded show just so you can skip ads and feel like you're outsmarting the TV.

I waited 3 minutes just to skip the first ad. I'm outsmarting the TV.

I didn't wait. I got stuck in the middle of an ad. The TV is outsmarting me.

Padding delay is the reason I still have my TV. It's my life.
