Actually,after reading this thread its quite apparent the adverts do cause a great deal of stress and frustration,so I might patent something I've been working on for a while.
Basically its a bit of kit that goes in a scart connector on the back of your tv and detects the start of the adverts and cuts them out,you then have the option,via the programmable hard drive on the AD {advert detector},of watching something decent for 2 or 3 mins,eg,Kim Bassinger doing her yoga exercises,to a tasteful music track.
Obviously you can record any clips you want,Leeds trying to play football,east enders:(,etc.
