Whilst watching TV you wait for the adverts despite the fact your bladder is bursting. When the adverts come on, you rush out, visit the loo, make a coffee, get a sandwich, and get back to find the programme has started whilst you were absent and you’ve missed a bit.
The you realise that with a PVR this was so unnecessary :-
- You could have pressed <pause> at any time.
- And you were watching a recording anyway.
