PVR thought: While I may not be watching the commercials, I am recording them, and they are taking up storage space on my PVR. So I am archiving, for free, a broadcast quality version of the commercials that are funding my programs.
A dedicated server with 30 gigs of storage would cost me $250 a month from Pair networks, and a Tivo Generation 2 can store up to 60 hours of programming. Given that there is only about 40 minutes of actual broadcast in each hour of TV, that works out to 1/3 of my storage space being forked over for commercials. Since I can't delete them, I'd have to delete the whole show, I'm still paying for the priveledge of skipping commercials with my lost storage space.
