    HBO had ads for the other content on HBO (movie trailers, show ads) which also served as filler so the next show or movie could start on the hour or half hour. Definitely a different kind of ad, and it didn’t interrupt what you were watching.

    Still ads, but the least intrusive kind.

        Yes, and I expanded on why they did them the way they did them while reinforcing the point that ads for content on the same channel are still ads.

        We are in agreement saying the same things in different levels of detail.
