McDonalds!

I also hate the BS of 30 sec ad of another show before the show I want to watch and can't skip. Looking at you Paramount.

Can we start invoicing these companies for the ads they make us watch? They should be paying us.

Skip Skip Skip, you've used up all your skips. Upgrade Now for more skips. No thanks I'll have my mp3s. 1600 fit on a 16G thumb for $3.89/ea. At that price I gift them to friends to hold for backups. I own them. My mp3s will outlive the sun.

Just in time for my laptop's monitor to crap out and await new life as a HTPC.

I think this will be the last year I’m an Amazon Prime customer. Their music streaming is beyond shitty, all the stuff that interests me on Instant Video isn’t free anyway, and I don’t buy enough Prime-eligible products to make the 100-ish euros worth it.

I find it interesting how they can get away with increasing the costs while reducing the service.

I noticed this too and will probably switch to something different. I have noch idea where to switch to though. Nvidia is apparently also adding ads. Chinese android boxes are not trustworthy at all. Chromecast also feels a bit icky with all the stuff Google pulled off on YouTube. I really just want to switch to a Linux bases htpc, but then Netflix will only be 720p and that's not acceptable. IMHO there currently is no good streaming box

my parents keep buying Amazon FireTV devices and they are so annoying and underpowered. I want them to just buy an HTPC or something, but they wont listen cuz thats more expensive, even tho they've been through multiple Fire TVs cuz they crap out

And Google Tv just did this. Sigh
