Tivo starts pop-up ads

Opinion

One of our least-favorite aspects of the Internet is making its way over to our new favorite technology: DVRs.

PVRblog reports that those much-rumored Tivo pop-up ads are starting to hit TV junkies’ screens. Now while they are an annoyance there is an easy way to get around them – hit CLEAR on your Tivo remote. The ease of removing them doesn’t excuse their existence, in our opinion, but at least you *can* get rid of them.

Click here to see some screenshots of the ads in action. Yuck. You can also scroll down a bit to read an earlier report about the ads’ appearance, written in by someone who starts: “This morning, I started watching Ghostbusters 2 on Comedy Central…” Hee.
