I was looking for a device to automatically mute commercials, preferably to also darken the screen. I encountered this product which is not yet released. Apparently, they have a beta program starting soon. Seems to have other interesting features.

I wonder if a TV manufacturer, one that puts apps into the TV, e.g. Vizio, would be interested in this kind of technology. I get that TV advertising is related to TV manufacturing, but as far as I know, that link is only tenuous. If a TV offered the ability to mute commercials, I'd be highly motivated to choose that brand, all other things (size, cost, picture, etc) being roughly equivalent.
