I grew up in the days of network television and local stations. Never had cable or those fancy DVR boxes (or teevo for those who remember). When we wanted to record something we had to know when it was going to be on, then program the VCR, slap a tape in and hope for the best.
I have no patience for ads whatsoever.
When they'd come on back in the day (me being the youngest) I'd be told to holler when the show cam back on.
I block every single ad network wide at home. And now I only watch content without ads via any means I can.
