Me and Tivo

Tivo has changed the way we watch television at our house.

We tell it to record favorite shows and there they are, ready to watch when we want. Press the button and it skips ahead 30 seconds.

Usetowas (Jeff Foxworthy word) 6 clicks, 3 minutes of commercials and pow! back to the program. Then it took 8 clicks. Now most breaks are crammed with more than 4 minutes of commercials.

When I was a kid, TV shows had less than 8 minutes AN HOUR of commercials.

Oh well, as long as my battery holds out I can Zap 'em. -BIG Mike

This makes me wonder how much of a negative impact Tivo and other DVRs have had on advertising revenues. Considerable I image. -Bulldog
