Nope. I have a few 1 hour long shows on my computer minus commercials and they are 42 minutes long. That's 30% commercials.

I don't know what you mean about the banner ad - you aren't forced to stare at the banner ad for 30% of the time, are you?
Also you can download firefox and get a variety of ad blocking software. Then you don't see the ads unless you want to.
