I guess someone will say they can or will do in the future.
What I`ve noticed more and more of is adverts before and sometimes during on demand programs which really irates me. I know it`s done to cut the costs down but still annoys me!
You should see the ad breaks on USA channels and on demand lol we've got it light compared to them.
