TiVo debuts ads during fast-forward and pause

**MIG-31** · Dec 9, 2008, 08:43 PM

With the TiVo Pause Menu that launched today, even if a user is fast-forwarding through the traditional ad breaks on a time-shifted program, he will still be subject to "premium" ads designed to appear in the truncated space.

Looks like BetaNews read the press release incorrectly. The ads only display on Pause (not that it's any better).
