Hi, Guest
That's bulls***. If it ever got to that, and it was unavoidable... pure movies time + console, cancel the TV portion of my package.
I can flip a page in a newspaper. I bought the newspaper, so I can avoid the advertising in it.
I can change the channel on the car radio whenever I want. I can also throw in a CD or listen to MP3s. I own it, I decide what to do.
Computer - same deal.
Why should TV be any different? Are they mad they screwed the pooch after 15-20 years of VHS home recording and alleged piracy?
Actually, I'd record the whole thing to DVD with auto-chaptering... eat that, forced TV bitches! :D :lol:
EDIT - the Slashdot listing says that we, the people who are already paying to watch commercials, might be able to get out of the technology "for a fee" if an amendment is added to the proposed idea.

So we'll pay $5.00 more a month for "commercial-avoidance privileges". Great. :rolleyes:
