And they block your ability to fast-forward.

Dumb. I know why they do it, but my life is too short to fastforward.

Want me as a customer? Then you need:

1) No ads. I will not tolerate ads in my house. I do not want your clown burgers or your overpriced car. if that means I need to pay 10% more, then charge me the 10% more.

2) Ala-Carte pricing. I do not watch sports. I am not going to pay $20 a month for ESPN and a bunch of sports programs. I will totally pay a few bucks for the history channel, or something that has value.

3) Needs to be fully streaming or TIVOed. i.e. let me watch at 6:23 pm or 7:19 pm. No sitting around until 8:00pm so I can watch a show.

Currently do Netflix + HBO and have more TV shows than I can watch. Totally willing to throw in a few more bucks for something of value, but no $200 cable package is going to happen here.

If you're willing to pay 50% more for no ads, they wouldn't let you. Since you're the target.
