Don't think it has been mentioned yet is that you have 3 choices with the
advert marks - ignore, tell you there is an advert or auto skip. I always
use the second as if there is a dark scene it sometimes makes a false
advert so I can see to just let is play rather than skip.

I also limit the time to 5 minutes as 4mins is the average for most
commercial programs (apart from on religious holidays when there are no
real ads) although Sky channels can be very variable (20secs to 5 mins).

The number+forward is useful as is number+info to get to a specific point
in a program - eg. the weather forecast is about 54mins from the start so
you can get to it directly without worrying where you are by using the
<5><4><info> key sequence.

Cheers
