Commercial free TV ??

[padd54]

Hi,

I am really going to show my ignorance.
I have heard a lot of talk about commercial free TV.
Is this for Networks?
How do I get it?
I have a HR20-700 w/HD programing.
Thanks

"Commercial Free"

All depends on your definition of a Commercial.

PayPerView is about as close as you get to totally Commercial free.

Next would be your Premium Movie Channels, that only show commercials in between the programs.

After that... there are just about commercials everywhere else.

Thanks,

I guess what confused me was the use of "commercial free tv" while discussing the Dish DVR in a HDTV magazine article.
"The ViP622 DVR is the first HD DVR in the satellite industry to be offered with no upfront cost to new subscribers, giving viewers a unique opportunity to experience the exciting world of HD and commercial-free TV"

In that context...

The are referring to the ability to FF or Skip the commercials.
