New Technology May Force TV Ad Viewing
I love this quote from the article: "Philips acknowledged, however, that the anti-channel changing technology might not sit well with consumers and suggested in its patent filing that consumers be allowed to avoid the feature if they paid broadcasters a fee."
How about, fuck no.
I love my VCR. I'm never getting a TiVo anyway, and there's no way, sans a firearm pointed at my head, make me watch commercials on anything I record on tape.
