And they're also competing with TiVo-esque devises that skip ad breaks too. Good points David.

I was pretty annoyed when I saw the ads in the middle of shows on SBS - ad-free shows were one of the joys of SBS! I understand the commercial pressures SBS is under, but I think moves like this are a bit risky. The more it becomes like commercial stations, the less reason there is for it to be funded (or exist) at all. I wonder in any case if commercial stations are going to rethink how many ads they have, given they're increasingly competing with ad-free DVDs of TV series and movies.
