They eventually removed both features from their products, even the ones already sold, via a software update.
That is not true. The features were removed from the 5000 series. All 4000 series ReplayTVs still have these features. Commercial Advance was replaced by Show|Nav in the 5500 series. Basically the same as Commercial Advance, but you have to press the button on the remote first.
ReplayTV just lacks any features that makes them stand out

Resume a Show Anywhere: Start watching a movie in the living room, and if you feel yourself nodding off, pause it, and resume watching right where you left off, in the comfort of your bedroom.
