Unlike the Dish version, MythTV's commercial skip works on all channels, not
just network channels. It scans for commercials, and automatically deletes most
of them. It doesn't get everything right, but is pretty good. Plus, it's all
Open Source.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Notice how the bottom third of the screen has been showing advertisements when a
show comes back from a commercial break? Almost always, the ads are for other
shows on the same network? (These are the advertisements that the networks
really, REALLY want you to see.)
Product placement, where companies pay to have their products promoted as part
of the television show (even scripted shows), are also making a BIG comeback.
As commercial skipping becomes more convenient, expect advertisement to become
more invasive into your viewing experience. It's inevitable.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
