Is there a PVR software package that does not record commercials at all?

SageTV apparently allows you to skip through them "instantly" according to their feature list, but is there one that simply does not record them at all? It would save me from having to edit the video later.

SageTV has plugins to do it as well. You need a program called comskip running to index the recorded files, and then use one of the custom UI's for sagetv which supports comskip. I haven't tried it personally, but there is a good amount of information on the sagetv forums about it.

I don't think any programs exist yet that can not record commercials. Every program so far analyzes mpg files and only marks the spots it thinks are commercials. I don't think you'd want any program to auto-cut your files since they are not 100% accurate.
