Comment Commercial deadlock? (Score 1) 823
That thought just occured to me.
So you switched on your TV just now and it happens to show a commercial. Because of the lock, you have to wait about 10 minutes. Problem is, that this channel wasn't even the one you wanted but you still have to wait. Now if you are like me, I know some of the numbers on my TV but not all. Most of the time I switch up/down the channels until I reach the one I want. So finally you are "allowed" to switch to the next channel, which happens also to show an ad right now and you have to wait another 10 minutes. If this happens again you can easily have to wait 30-40 minutes, in worst case, just to switch to another channel and by the time you reach it, what you wanted to watch is over. Not that I really would wait so long, because if this happens two times in a row I would switch off anyway. Nice.
