Re: Adverts
I hate these too, mainly because they are on over and over and over again. A little montage of the most played adverts on NZ TV

The OH hated this one, she wanted to get hold of the woman & stick the product where "the sun don't shine".

Re: Adverts
by which time you have totally lost interest and resigned yourself to switching to ad free BBC and sitting through a totally boring repeat!

Re: Adverts
Well,after reading Bojangles rant- I feel vindicated! I was begining to think it was just me! 
Youwould think in this age of technology, Iwould be able to opt out of adverts without having to buy Sky!
But they should really ease up on them cos they are clearly repelling us from buying their products!
I miss the BBC as never before!

Re: Adverts
But if I don't watch the adverts then how will I know when to go to Godfreys and buy a new Hoover? 
It is quite amazing that kiwis buy enough vacuum cleaners to make it worthwhile, we must be close to saturation. Like those rug expo/zumba adverts in the same vein.
Of course really our favorite advert:
Although they don’t mention the “thousands of luminous spheres” any more, must have been a health hazard? If I’m ever sent to fight a war I’ll take Thun Luzzy 6 in 1 with me, it’s just so versatile...I could dazzle my enemy with my skins natural radiance

Re: Adverts
Mind you one of the reasons I want NZ is the choice to do other activities than watch the box!

Re: Adverts
mysky hdi = $15 per month and never watching another advert (assuming you already have sky)
If not on sky, then a freeview HD PVR will do the same thing
Or Telecom's Tivo service
