Roben, for those of us that haven't subscribed to QNN (and are thinking about joining)and have no idea they are advertising on all sides of a screen do need to hear about that and appreciate that info. You are right. When you pay for a service, you should have that choice of ads or not. Think about it, aren't our ads in the back of mags (mostly)...so, why not do the same w/ads on videos, etc. If you are paying for something and the ads are on all sides, I'd be screaming too:)Send them a letter-we'd all like to know their response. Besides, w/QNN, did you want to pay for the ads or the vidoes and if you are paying to see ads, then they should tell all of us that up front. Thanks for the info, Skeat...who is not on any type of cable, dish, etc so I have no idea there either:))
