Do you watch television shows in a manner which actively avoids commercials? As a follow-up question, would you use a post-transfer model of payment to compensate for the lack of commercials? I have a small functioning television that sits in a corner gathering. During a local disaster (bridge collapse) local news has much better coverage than the intertubes. There are some things I can't get online and guests will from time to time move it to a more convenient location to watch the news or advertising laden shows. Otherwise, it gathers dust and someday will short circuit when turned on and go poof, I am looking forward to that day.
