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.

Someone with Remote ADD doesn't have an attention span that exceeds a commercial break. When watching the desired show and a commercial comes on, someone with Remote ADD will change the channel until he finds one without a commercial, later returning to the original channel.

Severe cases of Remote ADD will result in the inflicted person staying on the new channel until a commercial break, forgetting the original show.
Bob and Jim were watching Goldfinger and every commercial that came on, Bob would switch to ESPN hoping to catch SportsCenter. Unfortunately, there were usually commercials, so Bob went back to Goldfinger.

The continual Remote ADD without anything being on infuriated Jim.
