The last firmware mods were advertised as fully detectable by Microsoft. That was said from the beginning, so it's no surprise by these people that they were finally banned.
We gave Tivo as a gift with a gift subscription for the monthly fee... If they don't want to pay the monthly fee when the subscription is over, the Tivo is still more intuitive than a VCR without the guide data.
He, however, is the one that targeted Firefox itself as his problem... The fact is that if the release was unstable, we all would have heard an uproar about it within days, not 2 weeks later...
Tivo has been doing this for over two years already. They have been placing thumbs up icons during specific sponsored commercials, and you do see the icon while fast forwarding. If you stop and thumbs up during the commercial, it will take you to an ad page where you can view more information, or opt-in to receive some info from the company.
That's all they are doing. They are replacing the thumbs up with a banner to promote the advertising further.
I don't know how you people are distorting this story to the point where all of a sudden, you are not going to be able to fast forward through commercials, or that some huge Netzero banner is going to be plastered across your television screen any time you FF. Geez.

It already knows it's a commercial, as is evident when it places the thumbs icon on the screen from paid advertisers during their commercials.
