whereiswaldo's Journal: Television Thieves

The television stations complain that people who use commercial skip technology are thieves.

I disagree, but I'm not going to argue that point right now. I have a middle ground solution.

Why not employ technology that only skips a commercial if it is not the first time that commercial has been on? That way the viewer gets to see each unique commercial once (which should please the station), but doesn't have to grin and bear it through subsequent showings of the same commercial (which should please the viewer).

Technically, I don't think it would be that hard to do.
