    maybe i haven't experienced this because i use the 30sec slip instead of skip.

    I'm seeing it with the 30sec slip as well - maybe its a market-based thing?

    I first noticed it sometime around late Sept/early Oct on some of the DirecTV inserted commercials (http://www.satelliteguys.us/directv-...mmercials.html). Seems to be happening on a lot of different commercials now.

    I've noticed the skip not working only on commercials for local ads, the other thing that is more annoying is the sound level on these local ads is about 25% higher than the program that is playing. I noticed this happening several months ago.

    Skip still working on my units AND audio levels are passed as they come through from the providers. DirecTV does not alter them.

    Two 6 foot Fortec dish with GeoSatPro dual C-Band LNB "ghetto moved" to various C-Band satellites
