Instead they ought to make a feature so an add scrolls across the top of your screen when your fastforwarding.

And don't you dare close your eyes or plug your ears during the commercials either.

I imagine they have this covered, but what if you're channel hopping?
"Channel 4 is boring. I wonder what's on Channel 5? Drat! It's that DiTech guy! Now I'm stuck here for 2 minutes! ... Whew, glad that's over. Huh. Channel 5 is boring too. I wonder what's on Channel 7? Drat! It's Levitra! Now I'm stuck here for 2 minutes!"

All your television are belong to us.Nice. Just like computer popups. Then they can sell software to defeat the forced commercials, and more software to defeat that software that defeats the software to defeat the software...
Of course the Gov't will have to get in on the fun by forcing us to watch public service "commercials" for the crisis-du-jour. Just so we know they're out there being a good Nanny.

Phillips said they are not likely to install this (yeah, right) on their equipment, and it's just an interesting "discovery". Well, I need a new TV, and I guarantee it will not be a Phillips, just in case.

It's coming. There are already commercials that turn on my Closed-Captioning feature (en Espanol), and some of the cable stations are now playing commercials at the bottom of the screen during certain programs.
I think it's time to fill my TV with dirt and plant some flowers.

In this era of easy ad skipping with TiVo-like video recorders, could television viewers one day be forced to watch commercials with a system that prevents channel switching?Unless they can force me to watch TV, this won't affect me at all.

Well I'd be willing to bet that at least one manufacturer will offer a unit allowing the owner to switch channels whenever they want and will beat the living crap out of Phillips in sales.
Any manufacturer that does not offer the current level of owner functionality would be insane and deserves to go bankrupt.

Are you allowed to go get beer and pretzels during the commercial or will the set be equipped with a straight jacket which pins you to your chair?

There is a lot of difference between can and will. Can they freeze the on/off button? Will we get shocked if we pull the plug out of the wall? Do sellers really want people to boycott their product if they are "forced" to watch a commercial?
To: Izzy Dunne
And thusly, the demise of television.
I barely watch at all anyways. Maybe a DVD here and there, or something on in the background whilst I seduce this week's little lovely. :^)

Does this mean that if we accidental tune in to the local PBS indoctrina... errr station we might never be able again to switch to another channel?

Is Philips nuts?
How many TV sets do TV stations and producers buy?
