Yeah.... more thinking a

Sky One program break adverts avg 83 seconds
Sky One between programmes avg 113 seconds
Paramount program break adverts avg 98 seconds
Paramount between programmes avg 127 seconds

That sort of thing...... ie knowing which channel and whether you're
watching or between programmes, can you automate it........ hmmmmmm I'll
have to get a stopwatch :-)

Anyone know of any good stopwatch programmes for the iPAQ? Ok, its Friday
so
I'll knock up a quickie in eVB ;->
