Default DVR trickery

I have been noticing that they are starting to put little short clips in the middle of commercial breaks now, my gf and I were talking about why and I suggested it was done to try and get people to stop fast forwarding the commercials because they think the show is back on and will maybe forget to forward again or just get fed up with all the stop and go and not forward the second time.
She think I'm a conspiracy nut or something but it makes sense, DVR/tivo is taking off and people are sick of watching commercials, only makes sense that they employ some kind of trickery to get us to watch the ads.
As an aside, I do make sure to watch every Modern Warfare 2 trailer on tv, looks f-ing sweet. I feel like a kid again getting this excited for a video game.
