As a UK-dweller, I must admit, much our TV advertising is much more Britishly-humorous that American adverts, and therefore only ever-so-slightly more watchable. But it must be said, I don’t think I have ever bought anything as a direct result of TV adverts in my whole life.

Interesting, but I’ve heard it many times before. We’ll see if advertisers will pay and cable systems will have the tcchnology to implement.

Personally, even though I DVR shows to watch, I end up stopping to watch ads that look interesting and cool. Research by the Tivo folks shows that ads that are DVR’d actually get watched.

Yes, the commercials are just visible. Like FF through a VCR tape. Yes, I can watch the commercials if I choose. I have heard, though it's been a while, that for folks like myself who fast forward through commercials yet can see them, "they" are trying to still make the commercials capable of selling their product. I can't remember how they planned on doing that though. Scott´s last blog post..Motivationallessness

I don’t have a DVR, Scott and Craig, so I’ll live through you. Are you able to see commercials or does each fade to black get replaced immediately with a fade from black? And are you able to pause and watch a commercial if you choose?

Carla, what if TV commercials were less about advertisers pushing content to you but you choosing what you wanted to see, not unlike using a remote to switch to a new channel? That way you could choose which CSAs and organic food stores to watch and not watch what some media buyer thinks you ought to see?
