Ad-supported TiVo review: FREAKING ANNOYING 3/30/2005 10:24:00 AM (See what I'm talking about)
So, it's important to know (and test) that we are able to get rid of the ads by hitting the 'Clear' button. Communicating that would have been nice of TiVo, but apparently they're just trying to piss off their customers.

Anyway, saw this for the first time the other night when watching 24 and fast-forwarding through the commercials. No, it doesn't cover most of the screen, but it does cover just enough to make you REALLY have to pay attention when the program starts again. It's especially bad for 24, where the biggest clue to the show actually starting up again is the clock IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN, that was completely blocked out by this annoying ad for a movie I will now not go see. (OK, I admit, I wasn't going to go see it anyway).
