Targeted TV Ads

[Juan]

I guess D* will be using a portion of the hardrive in their DVR's for "personalized commercials" FoxNews.com - Personalized TV Ads Coming, DirecTV Says

 

[Mr Tony]

eh we'll see what happens...it says Aug/Sept next year

I guess if they show me commercials for sports thats fine

 

[Jimbo]

They have done that type of thing before,they have a portion of the hard drive sectioned off that you cannot get to anyways ... Remember the Showcase stuff they had on there awhile back ?

Hey if it means I'll never have to see another commercial for the liberator catheters or diabeetus supplies or viagra or tampoons or grandma diapers or or cream for 'the itch you can't scratch' or butt crack/junk deodorant or any of that other gross crap that I have no reason to buy but get to watch the commercials for while I'm eating, I say bring it on. I'd gladly fill out a survey or something to get ads for stuff I'd actually want. But they better not pull that 'unskippable' crap. I refuse to surrender my fast forward button.

What are these "commercials" you people are talking about? Is it the thing where they try to sell you something, like during the time-outs during ball games and such? Once I mis-placed my remote and saw one of these things.
