I've noticed recently that some commercials give you the 'Press Thumbs Up for more information' icon. This is usually done for upcoming shows. For example, there is a commercial for Law and Order, and an icon will appear prompting you to press the 'Thumbs Up' button to automatically record it.
Now, they are doing this for products as well. This was a commercial for a Cadillac Escalade. When you press 'Thumbs Up' you are taken to a three minute infomercial about the Escalade.
So, whether or not Ad Supported TV will be destroyed remains to be seen. But, Tivo has already changed advertising possibilities.
