It would probably be a condition of sponsorship that they *do* say it.

It's not the role of third party sporting event organisers to
guarantee to sponsors what the BBC will and will not say on their own
airtime, and the BBC should enter into no such deals where they would
be obligated to name-check the sponsor. But of course they do anyway.

For once, I agree with Zero.

*shrug* Who cares?

No sponsorship = no event, if that's what you'd rather.

Yes, I'd rather that than have our nation's public service broadcaster
become increasingly commercialised. The chance to watch television
WITHOUT having commercial messages slammed into your face every five
minutes is EXACTLY what I pay my licence fee for.

I'm sure those events would continue nonetheless, they'd just get
covered on one of the commercial channels rather than the BBC. And
there's nothing at all wrong with that.

What do you mean, 30x FF doesn't work? Of course it does! TiVo's
top speed is 60x FF which works brilliantly, because when you press
"play" it winds back to the bit that was flashing past when you
pressed it. Ie the software can take your reaction time into
account. Yet another great feature that the copy-cat PVRs didn't
copy, obviously.

How would it know how fast your reaction time is?

Ask their software developers. All a TiVo user needs to know it jumps
back a bit so that you "land" at the end of the advert break, despite
seeing it fly past at high speed and taking time to press a button.

So if a user's reaction time is just 0.3 seconds different from the
value built into the TiVo, it will wind to a point 0.3 minutes away
from the end of the advert break - an error range of 36 seconds.

No. As I said, it was a simplification. Forget reaction times if it make
it easier to understand. It winds back a bit and works brilliantly.

Simplification or no, it works brilliantly for you. Not other people.

Whatever. But no TiVo owner has posted saying they don't like it or that
it doesn't work.

I think the number of Tivo owners would have something to do with
that.

There speaks the experience of ignorance!
