The only place I do this anymore in hotel rooms, although I'm usually foiled by how horribly slow this experience has become. I've stayed in hotels where it's up to 5 seconds between channels. This was a real sacrifice in the move to Digital Cable (although I recognize hotels have their own reasons for being extra extra slow).

That's enough time to show you an ad between channels!
Thank goodness whoever built these dog-slow hotel systems is too incompetent to pull that off! Although I wouldn’t put it past them to have 5 seconds of black screen, ad, 5 seconds of black screen, next channel.
