It's about making tv productive
The average tv viewer watches 75+ minutes of commercials daily. Skipr can reduce that to zero.
High-Definition
Skipr works with your existing HD television and cable/satellite box and supports up to 4K resolution so your investment is future-proofed.
Easy to Customize
During commercial breaks, Skipr fills the void with content that is favorable to you. When the commercials are over, Skipr automatically returns you to your program without missing a beat.
Cloud-Powered
The Skipr commercial detection engine processes television channels in real-time. Your channel guide indicates which channels are at commercial before you even tune them in.
Personal Channel Guides
Each member of the family can have their own custom-tailored channel guide based on their interests, and parents can control what channels and programs their children can view.
Lots of Options
During commercials, Skipr can help you catch up on your social networks, listen to music, check your email, stocks, and weather, or simply mute the tv or display a soothing screensaver.
LiveTweet™
Follow live Twitter streams for your favorite tv shows and tweet right from your tv. Skipr automatically applies the correct hashtags for the current show.

GameHopper™

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Will Skipr work with my existing tv setup?
- A: The Skipr box connects between your existing dvr or cable/satellite box and your television using an HDMI cable. Route HDMI output from your existing box into Skipr, and then out to your television using a second HDMI cable.
- Q: How does Skipr work with HDCP-protected video content?
- A: Skipr leverages the AndroidTV platform from Google and completely adheres to HDCP protection between devices. Skipr does not remove or interfere with HDCP protection.
- Q: Are there copyright issues involved with skipping commercials?
