One of the very few benefits of cable was that you could be watching one channel, then when the commercials come on, you could switch to another channel and watch that until the commercials come on. Then you could just keep pressing the "Back" or "Previous" button to switch between the two.
Had this mastered back in the late 2000s, rarely had to sit through a commercial break if you knew the channel schedules.
