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

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.
