Methods and apparatus to present supplemental media on a second screen

A digital media device, comprising:

• a command interface to receive a command signal from a remote control;
• a secondary device register to receive, via a network, a connection request from a computing device different than the remote control, the connection request including information identifying the computing device;
• and
• a skip enabler to:
• prior to a connection being established between the digital media device and the computing device, disable the digital media device from skipping a first type of media;
• and
• in response to the secondary device register receiving the connection request, enable the digital media device to skip the first type of media during a time-shifted presentation of media responsive to the command interface receiving the command signal from the remote control.

A tangible computer readable storage medium comprising computer readable instructions which, when executed, cause a processor of a digital media device to at least:

• during a time-shifted presentation of media on a digital media device and prior to establishing a connection between the digital media device and a computing device, disable skipping of a first type of media by the digital media device;
• establish the connection with the computing device based on information identifying the computing device;
• and
• in response to establishing the connection, enable skipping of the first type of media during the time-shifted presentation of media, the skipping being responsive to a command from a remote control device different than the computing device.
