Re: I must side with cablevision here It is a good decision, b/c you would basically have on-demand tv, as every station would be record 24hours a day. You just pick the shows you want to watch and fast forwarded through the commercials. That is a nightmare scenario for the entertainment industry. As DVR's get more popular, there will be a need for the end user to pay more for the service or some other way to get advertisements in. I envision a setup done the way they do school/govt closings. They will eat the outer edges with advertisements. There is always product placement as well, but I don't see that bringing in as much money as 30 seconds spots. |
