Why do I always manage

[starone]

to put the tv on when the adverts start? I think if I got up in the middle of the night and turned on there would be adverts for something or other.

[anneasquith]

well i agree star, especially with a freeview box.

[sherrardk]

I sky+ everything, no adverts and I get to see the whole programme.

[Andyvon]

Errr.....because there are so many adverts on now Starbuckone! You forget to mention the trailers!

I stopped watching TV a long time ago. I have a collection of DVDs so I watch them if I have time once my wife's gone to bed. I still savour watching a whole programme without breaks.

[The-Toff-]

Agree Star, have you noticed that if you flick through the chanels adverts seem to be on all at the same time,

[starone]

Yes Toff, perhaps Andy has the right solution - watch films on DVD, although I do not really like watching things more than once. Don't know why I said that when there are so many repeats on tv. That's another grumble.

[Booldawg]

Sometimes the ad breaks are so long I've forgotten what I'm watching!

[jd_1984]

I agree, adverts are excessive. I too would rather get a DVD boxset like 24 or The Soprano's to work thorugh rather than watch TV. Very rare I sit infront of freeview all evening, it bores me!

Apart from BBC I record all programmes so I can fast forward when the ads come on.

[sandyRoe]

Channels like Gold or Alibi seem to show as much advertising as they do program.

[starone]

I've just discovered I can watch without adverts if I click on to TV Choice. And I have also discovered from that there are at least 15 minutes out of every hour showing adverts. Recording everything, well that's easy on this YBox, a good idea Mike. I shall do that in future as well as TV Choice.
