God bless the BBC and the licence fee then ! Some campaign for that to be full of adverts too.

I love Classic FM, but its ruined by adverts.

I'd rather have rubbish ads than rubbish content that the BBC dishes up.

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

I get annoyed when adverts are interrupted by TV programs :D

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

Why do you guys even watch TV in this way? Advertisements are time wasting, boring and annoying. We all have VM boxes, allowing us to watch what we want, when we want, free of commercials. And yet….

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

and of course you're quite happy to pay VM a fair wedge every month for the privilege of delivering those adverts to your home, which you then ignore :D

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

I don’t pay for the adverts, Carth!

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

So VM supply them for free?

Can you opt out? LOL

Just in-case anybody was under the impression that "Medifacts" was some kind of independent organisation. Just a marketing tool. :rolleyes:

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

What I meant was that I pay for the content. I am not given the choice of whether to get the commercials as well, which are for the benefit of the commercial TV stations, not Virgin Media.

In the fullness of time, I hope that this can be rectified by way of SVOD. Not long to go now (fingers crossed). Hopefully, all the players owned by the main commercial stations will have an ad-free subscription option soon, and live streaming availability such as the BBC i-Player provides would be useful, too.

Oh, goody - more payments...

My ultimate goal is to subscribe to the terrestrial channel players and other streamers and ditch the TV channels. We are nearly there now.

They are the best few lines of that song tbf

Consuming small children, the smug cow cheerleading in the studio kept that quiet and just like that you're done, it's eaten both the kids and the kitten

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

So those that pay for the add free version will have to find something else to do when the ITV add free paid for service pauses while the free version shows the adverts half way through the 7.30pm release of Coronation Street. Maybe ITV can fill the intermission with re-runs of the old public information films. I always liked the one with the grim reaper and the kids trying fish the football out of the pond....
