Ad Skipping. What is it?

I thought I was quite good with tech, but having paid for this for a year, I have never used it, as I don't know how. 
How does 'Ad Skipping' work? Does it work on live television, or does it just work with streaming? If it only works with streaming, what streaming services does it work with, as again, I have never seen evidence of it in action.
