I'm right there with you on ads, brother. I won't watch live TV. Record everything and skip ALL the ads. Watch an hour show in 45 minutes. Better yet-- don't watch at all.
Another possibility is that the people who make the decisions about ads at Mazda just have bad taste/judgment. Or don't know what they're doing. Or are just trying something new to see what happens.

That's what I would do if I could get a signal, but with one addition: Tivo!I live in the sticks after decades of suburban life of DC. No cable (or decent internet) available, I got rid of satellite and installed a rooftop antenna, so I'm not fast-forwarding through anything!! And I agree that less tube-time is best.

We've kicked this around here. Which comes first: sales revenue that can support an ad budget, or an investment in advertising to get sales up? You can read what they have to say about their future in their 2019 financial statements.

I agree on getting a Tivo. I got a Romio, which includes the lifetime guide, a few years ago. I then purchased several mini VOX's to add the same functionality to all my other TV's. It's the best investment I've made, as far as TV viewing goes. No more monthly fees, or unexpected price increases. The "Skip" feature for commercials, like Mazda's, is the best. I also have Roku's hooked up to all my TV's for content not served OTA. F satellite and cable!

If you have decent cell service, this might interest you. Even if you don't, you'll enjoy his place.
The other solution that these "Gotta get broadband" rural counties are implementing is to run cable/fiber along the roads, and then do the final hop to houses wirelessly. So they set up a transmitter at roadside, and each customer has a WiFi receiver in their home. That's the most economical alternative to running 1/2 mile or more of cable to one or two customers. I'm too far away from the point of roadside transmission to get a signal through the woods.
Or they could just run copper to your house from the fiber if wireless won't work. Might be cost prohibitive.
Where I lived in Colorado, they had long distance wireless service but only for line of sight. Maybe that's similar to what you're talking about.
Could this thread go any more off topic?
