Cablebox Pop-up blocker
-
Hello everyone: I am sure everyone has noticed whenever you are watching a program on the major TV networks after every commercial break when the program resumes they have another pop-up advertisement. These advertisements take up the bottom third of the screen. I find this annoying. I have just seen a commercial, now I want to see the program not another advertisement. Has anyone thought of making a software program that would block these stupid advertisements that come up during the first few seconds during the continuation or start of a program? I would happily pay for such an application for my cable box. I discussed this with my cable provider they said it is generated from the network nad they can't do anything about it. I think it is another signal piggybacked onto their primary one. I would think that this signal could easily be filter out. Thanks for letting me spout, Quecumber256

TV content providers would be "clueless" if they have split signals for normal shows and advertisement to be sent to a customer's cablebox/receiver; and I'm certain a advertiser would not be happy about that either. The cable box probably receive the full content, advertisement and show in one nice package.

Maximilien, Either they are "clueless" or greedy. Let us face a simple fact. My internet browser lets me block pop-ups and it is done using some type of software. It should be simple to block a piggybacked signal. If this keeps up I will start watching all my programs over the internet. This offers me two benefits: 1 - Limited commercials. 2 - No pop-up advertisements at the start or continuation of a program. Thanks for the reply, Quecumber256
