No broadcast tv here, no adverts at all. Been cable free for over 1 year now. Not seen an advert in months.

The commercials are on, that's the time for bathroom breaks, get an adult beverage, get a snack, look at SoH,,,,

Don't watch TV that way, 99% of TV is junk now, So the ones I do watch I am behind because I buy the dvds. and do my own prime time, it has been this way for 5 years at least. Other than commercials on football, which I pay no attention too, haven't seen one.

I'm so spoiled by dvr, Netflix, amazon prime and ondemand I can't watch commercials because it drives me crazy haha :) sometimes I try to ffwd live TV because I'm so use to doing it on dvr. Also, it seems like they play the same commercials over and over especially on sporting events.

Thanks, JLove, that's kind of you to say. I'm always afraid I'm annoying people when I go off on tangents like that. I should tell my physics prof about your reaction; I think I have his email address. He'd be pleased.

I'm surprised the cable operators haven't capitalized on this yet. How many people would pay to have commercial-free TV for those who don't want to FF all the time.
When cable was first introduced, it had no commercials...and Mtv actually broadcast music videos!

It depends. Sometimes when I'm watching it on DVR I do, but other times, I'm too lazy to leave the tv

@Susan & Zod - I have really enjoyed your exchange.
@Susan - Your comment about being relaxed at the beach has really given me something to think about, and simultaneously makes me long for the beach. It's been too long.

I used to get 5 with rabbit ears in Cincinnati. Hardly anything watchable here in CO until I started using my apartment building's roof antenna. Now I get lots of broadcast stations, but I only watch 6 of them.

Commercials are the reason I don't watch TV.
Most commercials seem to assume a stupid, gullible, easily influenced customer.
I want to hear about features, prices and such. Consumer report for me.

Whenever I have the option to, yes. But since I rarely watch TV in the first place, most of the ad-skipping I do is on YouTube.

I walk into fred meyer, stuff some cds in my pocket, im a thief. Thats stealing. I upload a song for my friends to download, im sharing something i bought. The copyright holders want you to think that sharing is stealing because theyre greedy fat pigs. Keep feeding greed, make those pigs even fatter

I don't have a DVR so I am subjected to watch every single commercial although I change the channel and/or play with my phone during commercials sometimes.

susanr people probably have tried, which brings us full-circle to LSD. :) It brings me full-circle to a previous life when I was concerned with Tempest and EMSEC and a whole bunch of stuff I was supposed to have forgotten about by now. I should probably build myself a Faraday cage to relax in.
