TV Pop-Up’s
Have you noticed how more and more channels are popping up advertisements and general information at the bottom of the screen? I don’t know about you but it’s getting more than a little annoying. I feel like a need a pop-up blocker for my TV.
Lately, it seems these ads are getting bigger. One channel even plays sound effects during the pop-up which completely mask the sound of the show I’m trying to watch. It’s bad enough that our hour long shows are really only 42 minutes because of commericals. Soon they’ll just run a continous stream of ads at the bottom of the screen. If and when it comes to that I’ll invest large amounts of money to develop a blocking device for them. Anyone else want in?
