If we see a film we want to watch on live TV these days we "time shift it" and do something else for half an hour (our box stores the last two hours) and then we can fast forward through the ads.
I often wonder if there's a tacit agreement between the companies as to when the ads run because channel hopping seems to find nothing but ads on the other channels too!
I think I might be in the HiFi trade.
I am not currently seeking treatment for this.

Some '30 minute' programmes are only 18 minutes long when you deduct the ad time. 3 lots of ads in 30 minutes FFS :angry-screaming:

No commercial adverts on the Beeb, but lots for Trump,May, and other government run fund raising devices for the corrupt leaders (ha ha), and violent racism.

Television, what's Television?
I don't think we have actually watched anything so far this year and it is unlikely to change any time soon.
