Or, they're trying to "make nice" with advertisers so as not to make any new enemies. You know that advertisers must hate TiVo because of the very thing they stand for. They're making advertisements for us to watch, and TiVo is making it so we don't HAVE to. So it's probably TiVo's way of trying to provide some sort of comfort to advertisers so they don't raise a(n even bigger) stink.

I still haven't seen those mythical "extended ads" personally, though, even though they're supposedly released (or are they still in testing? and what are they calling them, again?)
