Death by commercial interruption

This app could be SO much better - give an activity or a poll or something, dont force me to watch the same commercials over and over (some of these breaks are 3 minutes long!) I understand you have to pay the bills but I will not hold my phone for 3 minute blocks of commercials every few minutes while it chews data and crushes my battery. Also your recording genie is atrocious. The wife wants to go back to Fios over this alone.
