TV spam/popups is getting out of hand

[OutHouse]

hasnt anybody else noticed this? im talking about the spam the pops up at the bottom of the screen advertising another tv show. it used to be small and not noticable but now they got sh*t flying in, flashing, dudes poping his head in from the corner... its really distracting from what is currently being viewed.

99% of the TV I watch comes to me via Bit Torrent, so this is not a problem for me. The rest is football, and then I'm only half paying attention anyway.

Words can not convey how much I despise those ads.

What really pisses me off is when the sound effects of their little ad drown out what I am trying to watch and LISTEN to:|

true for me also (but not BT....yuck)
they still have the VERY obtrusive adds, but the little station identifiers etc they do blur out now (thank you)

I am glad I dont have tv in the house anymore and been without for 6 months because that crap was getting way out of hand. Primetime TV on the internet (FOX CBS NBC ABC) with little to no commercials and pop up bs FTW.

most HD broadcasts dont have that crap
99% of shows posted are HD captures/encode.
