Re: Adverts

Im in a Telstra area- so not much advantage to going sky, and I do use the mute, its just volume and the frequency of the adds here is more that the UK isnt it? Also, they get more frequent the further into the programme you get. It does me napper in!

Re: Adverts

Next time you are watching "the big film" wich is usually some 10 year old crap, time the adverts they dont show the first lot for half an hour to let you get into it but by the end of the film there every 10 mins

Don't get me started on the Sinsodyne ones, just don't!
