Re: Really?
There are ads on the Reg pages? I'm shocked. Obviously, I have a well-balanced computer set-up.
For the record, I don't remember the last time I watched live TV - It's just too easy to FF 5" to skip them.
Trouble is, I am aware of just how short programmes have become. Lucky now to get 40 mins out of an hour show.
Likewise, I have quit watching DVD's because of all the unskippable stuff they really want me to watch when all I want to watch is the film I bloody paid for. So easy to rip just the film and file the original.
Actually, it's their greed that turns me off, when the ad breaks were not so frequent, and only lasted three mins, I could put up with them. But 5 mins four times an hour, with frequent sly over-runs, is quite beyond the pale.
