Only way we can escape them is to switch to channel two, for now, or switch off. I am watching more on the net now too, for this reason.

Peter you don't need to lecture me on why we have adverts, of course i know that.
There is a balance. SBS has that balance right and I enjoy watching programs live on SBS if I time it right.
In reality these days I watch almost zero 7, 9 or 10 partly because their advert placement is so irritating and partly because 80% of what I watch is via iView or SBS on Demand because it's when I want it. I have no need for 7, 9 or 10 or the shows they publish. I'm quite sure a doco would have been on SBS at some stage.
