This argument has some flaws. The commercials are sold and bought with the knowledge that everybody that watch the program does not watch the commercials. So I really do not see how you get to feeling that for a specific person it is morally wrong not to watch the commercials. Selling a device that makes everybody not watch the commercials on the other hand is something your argument might work for.
