Television doesn't accept new machine that can warp time
(Newszine)
-
It works by going through these programs frame-by-frame, and when two identical frames appear side-by-side, one is removed. Usually, this can be done enough in a 22-minute program, the actual length of most sitcoms without commercials, to add 30 seconds of time.All the more reason for investing in a DVR like Replay-TV, TiVO, or maybe even MOXI (though you'll only be able to get that through a provider.) You can skip the commercials. True, advertisers "pay" for the TV you see for "free" but how much of it do you really care about? Come on, Friends, man, punt that sh*t! We need to change the economics, and then maybe they'll air shows we actually want to see and may even pay for. Case in point: most of the original programming that's on HBO these days: it's worth every penny!
