Comment more commercials? (Score 1) 254
I was under the impression that DVR's came about to help one avoid advertisements. Everyone I know with a TiVO purchased it for two reasons: 1. to avoid commercials and 2. to record their favorite show while they were doing something better than being a couch potato.
Imagine the possibilities:
1) You receive a new Gmail and it pops up automatically on your TV (if you choose to see new messages of course).
2) A ticker at the top of the screen shows recent news that interests you... or better yet, it shows new items from my Google Reader!
3) A more personalized TV experience which will serve up relevant commercials on commercial breaks based on your interests.
I like the idea of an internet-ready DVR, wider span or programming with suggestions related to my viewing habits, my gmail on my TV, and for the most part everything Google... but, *not* MORE commercials - even if they are more relevant.
Or, am i just asking for too much?
