Commercials While You Skip Commercials With TiVo
Posted by admin on March 31, 2005 – 6:58 pm
If you haven't heard by now, TiVo now has pop-up ads. According to MercuryNews.com:
TiVo subscribers got a glimpse over the weekend of a new type of advertising to be viewed, ironically, while fast-forwarding past traditional 30-second commercials.
It's called a “fast-forward tag,'' and it blasts a fleeting ad message across the bottom quarter of the TV screen. A handful of TiVo subscribers, for instance, saw a movie promotion over the weekend for “The Interpreter, Opening April 22.''
Don't you love when technology gets rid of one nuisance and replaces it with another?
