Why are TV ad blocking devices still not common?

Question

Electronics

I hope the relevance of the issue is not worth discussing. For a huge number of people, television advertising is quite disturbing, especially when others are watching TV. To identify an ad block, you can rely on a number of factors: the so-called service "id" of the broadcast program, the missing logotype, the average sound level, teletext data, etc. ..
So why until now, the rapidly developing Chinese, forced to compete not only with well-known brands, but even among themselves, have not put TVs on the assembly line with the function of turning off the sound and stopping the flickering of the picture for the duration of the advertisement? Even newfangled android boxes and consoles do not have similar functionality, although technically this is already quite a lifting task, for quite sane money. And our domestic startups do not really promote such projects. What is the reason? Worldwide taboo? Or the insufficiency of the mass nature of the social order on the part of consumers? Or what else...

Answer 1

The question needs to be put a little differently. Here's the right way: why, when there is the Internet, to watch broadcasts of "terrestrial" television?
This is pure masochism! Not only do you watch only what they impose on you, but also this advertisement ...

Answer 2

Well, you block TV advertising, and then what? Will you stare at an empty box for 2 minutes?
Further, they don’t build it into TVs, which means you need to create it separately, sell it, pffff, yes, I’d rather watch ads))

Answer 3

They are . Only these are industrial solutions for telecom operators. There are no small ones because it's not that cheap - you need to take and transcode the digital stream on the fly. And few people need it, read it is not economically feasible.

Answer 4

You can connect all these devices to the Internet and block ads on a signal from the server by subscription. Quite a business idea.

Answer 5

I'll clarify - the question was not about shifting the translation (although this is also an interesting option), but only about reducing its annoying factors. By lowering the volume, or replacing it with some neutral music, for example. A flickering picture can be hidden in the corner of the screen, and the rest of the space can be filled with something of the viewer's choice... There are a lot of options, but for some reason there is no progress in this direction.

Answer 6

In some TV show they said that they invented something like this, but the price scares him off, I think they are not common because it is unprofitable for TV channels, what kind of shisha will the TV channel live on if no one watches ads?
