Ya but they're putting commercials on the web episodes too! You cant get
away from whatever they want to jam into the stream!

I still have my VCR. I don't mind FFwd every few minutes. After all, if
you have seen the commercial once, you have been "informed". I caught a
couple of episodes of Sarah Connor Chronicles on the web and quality was
pretty good but they played the same ad over and over until I found myself
singing to it, so that I had to smack myself in the head with the phonebook
to reboot myself.


Yes, there is much I have experienced there ...

We have dishtv, you can record shows/movies to the DVRs' recorder and
then click a few times to go through 3-5-7-or more minutes of
commercials ...

Still, just the "feel" and the "stress" of all this leaves me with a bad
taste in my mouth; when I mentioned that to the wife, she carried on
for a good fifteen minutes+ on her own "emotional distress."

This is just all about what a person is able to accept, or not, some
might not even notice any "discomfort."

AT&T is the first "BIG one we took on", we dropped them and went to
Vonage--that was unacceptable at $29.?? a month, for the service we
received--in short, and my humble opinion, they are a ripoff. We now
use magicjack (http://www.magicjack.com) as $20 bucks for the little USB
dongle, then $20 bucks a year, thereafter, to call all the US and Canada
for free--we found our phone service!

Regards,
JS
