In between the n-thousand-time repeated actual programme of course. There have been ad skippers before, I think back in the days when a genlock signal appeared about 30 seconds before ad breaks you could get video recorders that would stop for the duration of the ads. IIRC the TV companies spent big money stamping on it - can anyone confirm this? The other thing that makes me want to machinegun the TV is DVDs which have lots of unskippable ads and promos at the start, this seems especially bad on kids' DVDs. Hello DVD manufacturers! I'm ripping your DVDs here to get rid of your crap! Howdja like THEM apples? Of course if we can skip ads they'll just become even more insidious. -- Alan Bourke [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.fastmail.fm - IMAP accessible web-mail _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
