My wife and I love watching TV. And like all couch potatoes, we abhor commercials. So much so that we’ve taken to buying DVD copies of our favorite TV shows. That way, we could watch an entire season without any commercial breaks.
And using Mininova and Limewire, we still manage to keep up to speed with the rest of the couch potato world by downloading the latest episodes of Lost, Prisonbreak, Heroes and CSI to my PC. I’ve noticed that an hour long American TV show actually averages about 45 minutes. Which means that 15 minutes is allotted for commercial breaks.
