1. Comment - Keystream tech puts TV ads in 'empty' spaces of moving images

   (Oct 2, 2008 - 10:48 AM)

   Angela, you think that only a "handful" of people will stop watching tv, I don't agree. Almost ALL of the people I talk to have drastically cut their tv viewing over the past 7 years specifically because of the "bugs", "crawls" and "popup ads" that infest all the programming these days. My viewing has dropped 90% for this reason. I am an early adopter when it comes to technology, yet I have not gone HD or widescreen, and I'm not planning to. The reason: there is no longer any enjoyment out of television because of the constant interruptions. I don't want to see little animated cartoons dancing around on top of the program I am TRYING to watch. It is extremely annoying. We are already talking about canceling our Tivo and satellite services, this would be the nail in the coffin. I would NEVER watch tv again if this happened, and I will likely never watch again anyway. It seems the broadcasters are desperately looking for ways to alienate their viewers. I just don't get it. Oh, and for the record, I have not seen a tv commercial since 1998 (the classic kind I mean). We are paying over $60 a month for service that is basically unwatchable garbage.
