Re: [OT] Re: TIVO-like service for Australia at last!

TIVO hasn't stopped commercial television in America. People with TiVo get measured (all their viewing info gets sent back to TiVo HQ and sold) and it delivers better metrics to advertisers than ever before. And by the way, if you think programming and commercials are poor in Perth, try living in

I think the level of creativity amongst commercial tv execs is poor (and that being nice!). The problem is this word - commerical. Commercial TV exists to sell products. More and more the 'sponsors' of programs are wanting to pay less and less to advertise. Down comes the price of advertising,

Re: TIVO-like service for Australia at last!

The issue is of course that people have been skipping ads ever since the VCR came out - it was just not as convenient and easy as with TIVO-like devices. In fact, even before that people have always had the option to get up and out of the room during ads/mute the volume manually or the most common
