Yet another reason to A) Move to Dish and get a 522 DVR or B) give TiVO the slip and get a Win XP Media Center 2005 puter rollin with your TV.

I just use the DVR capabilities of my cable box and skip past commercials on shows I've recorded.

That will be illegal. Legislation is in place to force you to watch all Commercials or face criminal penalty.

It's a good reason to read instead of watching the idiot box.

actually, it's a good reason to RTFA 😛

TiVo viewers will see "billboards," or small logos, popping up over TV commercials as they fast-forward through them, offering contest entries, giveaways or links to other ads.
...
They pop up and disappear in a matter of seconds if the viewer isn't interested. "You'll never see TiVo roll out any kind of intrusive advertising," Kent says. "It's very core to our mission."

My question is, how is TiVo going to stay competitive with DVRs that still have no advertisements? For instance Replay TV does not have any plans to include ads with their service as far as I know.
