So What!
Skipping commercials is only one part of the "TiVo Experience". Time shifting is another HUGE portion of it.

These "Pop-Up" ads aren't adding to the time it takes to skip the commercials. Either you're going to stare at the TV while commercials fly by or you're going to stare at it while one of these pop-ups sits there. The time is the same! How's that make this worse?

The real blow was when TiVo disabled the 30 second advance. But, everyone got used to that and TiVo continued to grow. Same thing here. Actually this seems like less of a burden.
