Re: A TV that forces you to watch ads
Won't be one I'll be buying. I'd rather give up TV than sit through hours of advers every day.  Ad skipping is one of the reasons I love my Sky+.

Re: A TV that forces you to watch ads
I can find a use for it.........To stop my blooming husband channel hopping during the ads causing me to miss the beginning or next part of the program.

Re: A TV that forces you to watch ads
Advertisers really underestimate most peoples' resentment against their 'productions' and this idea just reinforces the annoyance.

Re: A TV that forces you to watch ads
Am I the only one that mentally blacklists companies and products that have annoying adverts?
I'll not buy Evian ever since that bloody baby advert!

Re: A TV that forces you to watch ads
I generally switch off during the ads, but thats probably where they get me subliminally.

Re: A TV that forces you to watch ads
Simple way to bypass...... Swich off TV... Then On.. It goes into Standby Mode (well my 2x TVs do) then Select a Channel....
But I guess they mean Blocking NTL/SKY from switching.. But 1-5 would be be affected as you can Turn off TV...

Re: A TV that forces you to watch ads
next they'll make you wear a harness, so you can't go and make cup of tea during ad breaks...
