TiVo now offers Pandora, and I'm loving it as well.

It's nice to listen to your favorites with out any commercials.
Pandora does have commercials. The lil' missus and myself were listening to Pandora through our system last night whenever a Glade air freshener commercial played immediately after a song on one of the stations, and it would not allow me to skip either. Congrats on the new LG big fella!

Rick(F), I have intermittent commercials on Pandora on my computer, but I'm pretty sure there aren't any on the TiVo Pandora... so there may not be on Wid's player either.
I just popped it on and will make myself listen for the sake of science and report back.

I listened to it for a few hours yesterday and there were no commercials.

From Pandora's site ... Pandora and advertisements. I'm understanding that as long as you have a free account you'll see/hear the advertisements albeit very few and sparse. I have several hours on our system using Pandora and have only seen the one ad so far and it really didn't bother me.

I only hear commercials when I use my computer. I have never heard a commercial using any of my blu ray players. There is probably a difference license associated with the various portals - Pandora gets a piece of revenue from LG, Samsung, etc. for allowing their widget be placed on the players. This pays for the service, I am sure, obviating the need for advertising.

Yep, you are probably right Adrien.
Are you using any Panasonic blu ray players? We were using our Panny BD-85 last night whenever the commercial ad popped up and that only happened after several hours of listening.

Nope. Only a Samsung and an Insignia.
