I think that you should be able to skip the ads on your own device, but look at the upside for not skipping. Last week when the comercials started i left my hotel room, went to the ground floor, crossed the street, went into a supermarket, bought some ice cream, paid for it, went back to my room and didn't miss any of my show. (they are learning in germany, the comercials can be between 6 - 8 minutes at a time).

only a couple of computers? assuming that they cost 15k each that would be 333 (and a third) computers. That would fill a classroom (or two) floor to ceiling with boxes. how do you steal or lose that much?
