-Skip sponsor segments in YouTube videos playing on a YouTube TV device (see
-below for compatibility details).
-
-This project is written in asynchronous python and should be pretty quick.
+iSponsorBlockTV is a self-hosted application that connects to your YouTube TV
+app (see compatibility below) and automatically skips segments (like Sponsors
+or intros) in YouTube videos using the [SponsorBlock](https://sponsor.ajay.app/)
+API. It can also auto mute and press the "Skip Ad" button the moment it becomes
+available on YouTube ads.

+A single short can be seen by either selecting the "Disconnect" option in the

 ## Usage
 
-Run iSponsorBlockTV on a computer that has network access.
+Run iSponsorBlockTV on a computer that has network access. It doesn't need to
+be on the same network as the device, only access to youtube.com is required.
+
 Auto discovery will require the computer to be on the same network as the device
 during setup.
 The device can also be manually added to iSponsorBlockTV with a YouTube TV code.
-This code can be found in the settings page of your YouTube application.

-It connects to the device, watches its activity and skips any sponsor segment
-using the [SponsorBlock](https://sponsor.ajay.app/) API.
-It can also skip/mute YouTube ads.
