I think the DVR recording the show counts as all those commericals being viewed for the network. as is was an active channel on your box.

If you fast forward or not is up to u but at the time of its airing you were counted as a viewer.


Did you notice that you can still tell what the commercials are no matter what speed your fast forwarding?  (who figures out what scenes to have at what spot to make sure the commercial still has impact while fastforwarding.)
