Actually, what they should do is the opposite of blipverts. They should have time-expanded commercials so that when you fast-forward through them, they seem to be in real time. Of course, there would be no sound, and there would need to also be real-time ads on at the same time, but they could split-screen somehow.

On the other hand, seeing all of us couch potatoes exploding like ZikZak addicts would be very cool. But I can't imagine that SonicBlue would fare even as well as Network 23.
