Trying to watch TV

[canamjhb]

Trying to watch a movie on TV tonight on the SYFI channel. Commercials took up as much time as the movie. Probably 15 commercials at a time. Very irritating. Caused me to switch to a different channel. Maybe some find the commercials interesting and just "adjust". Not me. I don't understand how anyone can endure the on slot commercial TV propagates. Numb minds perhaps.....

Oh yeah !!!

That's partly the reason why we don't watch TV any more. It's definitely why I don't watch football any more. It got to the point that I could take a shower fix a sandwich get back to my seat and still sit through a couple..:gaah:can find it all on the net...no commercials...:bowdown:

Ever notice the "commercials" get louder than whatever you're watching?? They really want you to take in them food, drinks, and don't forget to "ask your doctor about..." commercials! 18 minutes of program, 42 minutes of blah, blah, blah!:banghead: Mac:roflblack:

We normally watch everything recorded off the DVR function, hardly ever live. Then we can just zip past the commercials.

Watching live TV is so ancient.

This.

I will even tape delay watch sports to skip commercials. Have to not look at any news or texts though as a spoiler will inevitably pop up,if I do.

99 % of commercials sxxk. Now with all the medical crap it's enough to get you depressed. Thanks for the mute button, not that much tv is watched anymore.

No more cable

I disconnected cable because of the commercials. Now its Netfilx and Amazon prime.

Without all of the commercial breaks: when would you have time to make a sandwich, or "hit the head"? :dontknow:

Pause button. :yes:

 

[Pirate looks at --]

I mostly watch HBO so no commercials there, and DVR anything else on commercial TV so I done have to watch the commercials. BTW, radio is the same way, one song 3 commercials!

 

[Bob Denman]

Pause button. :yes:

If I hit THAT button: it didn't pause the Missus from complaining about me stopping the action.:lecturef_smilie: :shocked:

We have been a Tivo household since 1999.

Left the commercial break problem way back then. Its just gotten better over the years.

Over the air tv, streaming and local Plex server all integrated in one box for a whole home system.

The networks are just a source for material, we NEVER watch them live except perhaps for the Superbowl or World Series.

Have you ever noticed - or at least it seems to me - that all channels air commercials at the same time?

Yup! So much for channel flipping during the commercials. :dontknow:


I just use the mute button. I refuse to have them yelling in my ear to buy something I don't want. I am finding we are talking to each other much more. :yes::yes::yes::yes:

I seldom watch live TV anymore. I record everything so I can fast forward through all the rubbish. They should put a disclaimer on the screen. "The following commercials will be shown with limited entertainment interruption."

if it weren't for the commercials we might not know about an active girl or what to do about erectile disfunction or how easy it is to
sue someone when YOU make a mistake.
