6 Overview of the open ended answers Material is huge: it consists of over 600 pages Includes detailed descriptions what people do during commercial breaks Commercial breaks are used for doing something else than watching tv Others leave the room physically in order to do something Empty dishwasher, do laundy, go for a smoke, eat something, exercise, play with children Others leave the TV/current channel Surf the net, make calls, do , write messages, play games, shop online, change the channel, fast forward the commercials

7 Main reasons to skip TV ads People are already used to spend commercial breaks for something useful People want to save time by fast forwarding Ads are unpleasant and they are not meant for me Ads repeat themselves too much Could 2nd screen bring some added value for users? Almost half of the respondents agreed that ads targeting is useful and profitable Some were critical against profiles mainly because of privacy concerns I would not like to share my advertising profile with my friends! I would like to get also ads of things that I would not like to share.

8 Personal information users were willing to share Approximately half of the respondents were willing to share their personal information (age, gender, hobbies, interests) for targeting ads. Conclusions & future work The findings indicate that among other activities, using second screen applications during TV watching is a growing trend among consumers. Consumers use second screen applications to browse the Internet, contact with their friends through social media and to get more information related to TV programs. Consumers were willing to act to receive only more relevant advertisements for themselves. Over half of the respondents were willing to share their personal information for targeting ads. Combining multiple devices and second screens could bring some extra value for TV ads. Almost half of the respondents agreed that ads targeting is useful and profitable. Some of the users were critical against profiles mainly because of privacy concerns user privacy should be secured.
