you watch ads? Your DVR is incapable of FF past them?


What DVR? Get with the programme, Arny - I watch selected TV recordings as
mpegs on a 'dedicated' Acer Revo computer piped out via HDMI to a DLP
projector. I have hundreds stacked on hard drives, waiting to go and I can
skip the ads (where there are ads) with a click or two on the progress bar
but sometimes they take my attention. Picture and sound quality (SS
amp/Buschhorn Mk2 speakers) on UK stuff is generally excellent (DVD
quality) - US not so good.

The same setup is used for the BBC iPlayer and the comparatively kludgy
ITV Player - also freebie movies from LoveFilm from time to time. About
the only thing I watch real time is the news - and even that's behind the
'Net!!


It is quite possible the Rock and Roll CD set was being advertised on the
ITV Player - you can't FF or skip through the ads. A small price to pay for
convenience of having a large number of recorded programmes on tap for free
and saved on someone else's disk space....
