Not that I mind rev3 showing a commercial, just please put it in the video file or use a cookie that only shows it once. Last week, while trying to pause the video a couple times (I watch at work sometimes) I accidentally hit the rewind button and I had to watch the commercial 3 times. This week, I was simply moving the progress bar to replay something, and it went back to the commercial and I had to wait for it to finish before attempting to find my spot again.

I don't mind you guys showing commercial so I don't have to pay for scam school, but please change the format.

Hey hogiewan,

thanks for the feedback. I'll pass this on internally. Sorry you had issues!

Fortunately, it only seems to be before the Flash on the site, not for the subscription feeds through iTunes or TiVo.

yeah, it's flash-only. I ended up downloading the video and watching it that way.

Ya, no big problems, I always download the Lrg Quicktime, so no issues here.

And what's up with not being able to control the volume of the ad? I had my volume on really loud when that ad popped up when to turn down the video player volume only to discover it doesn't work!

This sort of thing is why I own external speakers that have their own volume control. :)

I'm more apt to download the video and watch in quicktime than on your website, so I'm not looking at the ad before the video or the banner ads. I know you guys get paid for the view anyway, but I'm not likely to click anything this way.

Lately, I've been watching through my TiVo. However, if I get some free time and have the urge to watch at work then I'll just view the Flash on the web site.
