Pictures in Pictures

Some years ago, the TV industry had introduced PIP (Picture in Picture) TV sets where one could watch two channels simultaneouly, one main and one in the corner, any one of which could be enlarged and the other put in the corner. I don't hear much of those TV sets for I fear the Ad industry had objected as people switched channels so that ads could be avoided.
Couldn't some genius invent some device so that as soon as ads come, the TV goes into the mute mode and again switches on as soon as the ad is over.
I know you have the remote but you cannot carry it everywhere and then they do not work from another room.
Normally ads are intentionally made louder and gaudier than the main programme.
This difference could be used.
Viraj Thacker has sent some pictures in pictures.
I am seeing such pictures for the first time and am posting them on our blog although they are not very soothing to the eyes, something like modern art.
Different people give different interpretations to the same painting.
The more the interpretations, the higher the price.
Something like Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.
