When watching Media Player TV, if you put the sound on mute during commercials,?

does the episode HAVE to start over -- as in there is no frickin' way to avoid commercials? If the answer is yes, I sure darn tootin' am taking that space-waster off my computer! I have just seen the same one minute 19 seconds over 5 times, just because I have turned off the volume during the ubiquitous commercials!
