I don't just love TiVo [1] because it allows me to watch my favorite shows whenever I can fit it into my crazy schedule. I also love it for the fact that I don't have to watch commercials. I decided a long time ago: Commercials, me no likey. ABC seems to be totally missing the point with their new video-on-demand service [2] that streams their shows on TV, for free and anytime you want (like HBO's On Demand [3]). The catch? You have to watch the commercials.

ABC's (with Cox Communications) new service would be great if you don't already have a DVR. The ability to fast forward through the commercials has been disabled, so to get that free content, they've got you, Clockwork Orange-style. ABC executives say this is a direct challenge to DVRs like TiVo, but the addition of force-fed advertising just makes me want to go home and hold my TiVo (his name is Gilligan) closer. It's a dealbreaker for me. What about you?
