"V" Burn-In During Lost

Sure there will be one, and there is probably little legal action, even if morally I'd hold the network responsible for anything that was in one spot more than 10% of the time. They know of the problem just as well as we do. Why ignore it?

Indeed, why hasn't someone at the networks realized that such behavior antagonizes their audience, and prejudices watchers against their network, and even against their sponsors products.

The best thing is to complain, and more than once. Complain to the fan sites for the show, complain to the local tv affiliate, and to the network if you can find a number, email, of address to complain. Fox I know has in the past been particularly hard to find contact information about problems with their broadcasts. I didn't have the same reception problems with the other networks so I haven't really looked there.

Anyone that watches any program that does this for the entire show should try to find a channel to communicate their worries and dissatisfaction with the network, the show, and it's sponsors for this behavior.

Threatening legal action will probably get your complaint dismissed even faster than just complaining about it tainting your enjoyment of the show and your attitude toward it's sponsors.

I've seen animated promos for other shows taking up the whole bottom portion of the screen during a broadcast. It blocks part of the image and is really annoying. Advertising should be limited to commercial breaks. When a program is on it should be broadcast without "adware."
