This action occurs while watching the DVR. As one fast-forwards through the commercials of their taped program, they accidently press play too soon--before the program has returned.
Declan fast-forwarded through the commercials of his favorite TV show, Breaking Bad, since he recorded it on his DVR.

While speeding by the ads at an alarming rate, he thought he saw Breaking Bad return and pushed play. Declan was wrong. He proceeded to do this two more times during the same commercial break. Declan needs to pace himself or he'll continue to experience premature remotation.
