Remote control

[#1]

I hate adverts in programmes on t.v..... I know they are there to pay for the tv station`s output... but I wish I could have a button on the remote, where I could program my favourite music video`s in, and when the adverts came on. .... just press the button, and it plays the music videos, until the adverts have finished, and the program restarts....

In other words you want PDC on the TV instead of the VCR/DVD recorder.
When program comes back, PDC signal is sent out again and it flicks back from your player to the TV. Unfortunately i don't think it exists.
Anyway I quite enjoy some of the adverts.. without them we'd never know of all those new exciting things that few of us can afford to buy these days

Yeah, Like Panty pads. and insurance for the over 60`s with deflation of the original sum the longer you live... and it doesn`t take effect until the first year has been paid in.... and if you stop paying..you lose it all..... Great Value .... and Michael Parkinson endorses it.... along with a few other STOOPID TV personalities/celebs, who should know better.  What a con... To quote Mr. Parkinson... " You can`t get better than that"...

I don't like the adverts either but I endorse the BBC having them instead of the licence fee? Cant win...Bit like the British weather/ to hot/to cold. Press the mute button it helps.

The adverts can be a welcome respite from rubbish programs.
Actually, these days it feels like there is more time allocated to adverts than actual programming

The ad breaks have indeed got longer Mav.
Moons ago they used to be 3-4 minutes. Now they seem to be around six.
A while back I counted how many ads were on during one break - 10  Probably more than that now.

[#7]

Even the BBC are full of program ads, event ads, and news ads.
Not really a lot to chose between their annoying breaks and the commercial ones.

Ad breaks = make a cuppa/ toilet break.

& also to stop the kids from squabbling / fighting
Yet the Remote causes the squabbling / fighting from time to time
Also the Remote, promotes, Channel hoppers

Can't beat the British Weather, because we don't get extremes

huu hmm <clears throat>
That is why I only started shutting the windows in the night time as of night for last, & reopen in daytime, since June / the Mancave had been like a blast furnace & more people spent money in the country as opposed to going abroad 

[#12]

If you thought it was hot here then it will be a lot hotter in central Europe

[#13]

I have no doubts about that

Hmmmm, next time it's getting a bit too cold I'll try the mute button

But is there any reason why a PVR set to record could not also include a system where the recording stops during the time of the adverts so when played back you get the full program minus ads ?
