9now Sets a World Record- Most Ads in Shortest Time

shaybisc on 10/04/2018 - 18:44

SBS On Demand is great and I've been using it a lot. The amount of ads isn't bad. I decided to try out 9Now today. I knew what to expect- horrible- but it was much worse than that. In 12 actual minutes of Young Sheldon there were 17 ads. I gave up at that point.

    I made that up because the title was too short but it's got to be a contender.

    I'd be more concerned about the fact that people are watching young sheldon

        Compared to Young Sheldon I would watch 2 flies crawling up a wall!

    The state of Aussie TV is awful, there is only a few Australian shows I have downloaded in the last ten years, 1 from foxtel and a few from ABC.

    All the reality TV killed it for me. I haven't even had an aerial connected to the TV in ten years.

        Really how sad is it for Aussie TV that you were able to guess with such accuracy.

          Tell me about it. I always try to look for Aussie shows to watch. Guilty pleasure would have to be House Husbands lol

        • xev on 10/04/2018 - 21:52

          I might have to check it out, thanks for the recommendation.

      Can you recommend a good, free, adblocker?

    Their other shows have less ads - more popular = more ads

    • Emli on 11/04/2018 - 08:32

      Big Bnag Theory shows are 17 minutes long. Ads for the rest,
      Other shows have much fewer ads.

    Kids now a days… back in my day I had to walk 5km uphill just to watch TV.

    • shaybisc on 11/04/2018 - 08:56

      I had to milk 30 cows by hand by 6am before I was allowed to listen to the radio.

        I didn't know politicians woke up that early.
