Television Program Notification

[okossik]

Have you ever been watching multiple shows, but one is more important and you missed most of it because you forgot to switch back?

This invention would be a little notification on the top of the screen that tells you when to switch back to your favorite show, after the commercials have ended. You program your favorite shows and if you are watching another channel during commercials, a notification will pop up and tell you to switch back.

You seem to forget that the purpose of TV comercials is to be watched by people, that's what companies pay TV channels for, If a TV service or channel offers the possibility you describe, no company will want to buy commercial airtime for that service/channel or at least they'd be willing to pay only a tiny fraction of the normal.
