I don't completely agree with them being able to prevent fast forwarding but you did leave out part of the story....this sentence is misleading "Cox will now begin to 'disable the fast-forward feature that allows viewers to skip ads'" This is only for the video on demand service that will be available for certain shows the day after they air. You completely ignore the fact that they are offering this new service to customers.

"which means that you should probably become a lot more disciplined in your DVR scheduling if you belong to Cox" this sentence makes little sense, if you aren't disciplined in DVR scheduling now you simply can't watch it unless it is aired again as opposed to being able to watch it but forced to watch commercials.
