I agree - There's so much more available online - i took a look on launch day and haven't looked since

I think PVR's & VOD (ability to skip ads) owes much to the demise of commercial TV

but the solution seems plainly obvious - VOD with compulsary adverts (no-skip as per live TV) - from an advertisers prospective it's the *best* way to advertise
