JT! Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 I have just been watching TV, and i noticed the little black and white flashy box in the top right hand corner of the screen to tell you that the adverts are about to come on. I havent seen this for about 10 years, is it just me, or is it back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted March 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 (Y) ← Yeah i know what your thinking, i was just wondering if its been about for ages, or they decided to bring it back after all these years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Y) ← :) We have just got a new widescreen, we used to have a 4:3 one, so it might have been chopped off. Could have always been there.

Sikamon Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 it's only on certain programs, and yes it can get cut off by smaller TVs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Ive noticed it a few times recently but i think our tv chops it off most of the time. But im sure it dissappeared for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munkee Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 i always wondered what that box was all about! i thought it was where the actors screwed up so they had to refilm it and thats what came up. Ah well learn something new everyday . I presume its so you have time to get ready to stop the recorder if your recording and wanna skip the adverts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-A Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Surely its not really there just so people know when to make a cuppa. I suspect (in other words guess) that its there to tell the bloke who has toi change tapes over/cut to adverts to wake up and get ready :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
