said by Ga Dawg:If I paid $1.99 for every show I watched, I'd be broke. Say you watched three 1/2hr shows per night at $2 each for 6 nights(a modest 1.5 hrs per night for the whole family) . We will assume 1 night out partying per week. That is $36/wk * 4.3 weeks/mo = $154/mo.
For that same price I can get the Comcast Platinum pkg and have access to every premier network, plus OnDemand, plus 2 DVR's, plus high speed internet. And with the DVR I can skip all the commercials.
Unless you watch only a very few programs per week, that pricing model is insane. Only really stupid people will go for it.
No wonder the poll came out like it did.

62% of survey respondents said they would prefer getting it for free with commercials, versus 17% who chose paying $1.99 without commercials. However, 21% are undecided.
In the coveted demographic of consumers aged 18-34, 68% chose free, ad-supported versus 26% favoring pay, and only 5% undecided.
The survey was conducted by telephone among 800 respondents in November 2005.

I have the Comcast PVR Box and it skips nothing....you can fast forward through the commmercials but you cannot skip them.
Unless of course you are talking about a TiVo Solution but your post is not clear on that point. |

Unless of course you are talking about a TiVo Solution but your post is not clear on that point. The Dct 6412 remote can be programmed with a 30 sec skip and using macros multiple 30 sec skips. I go thru 3 or 4 min commercial breaks in a couple secs.
