As far as I understand, the seek advertisements stay around anyway.
I don't think that issuing another seek would make any difference if
you use the same time controls. If you mean issuing another seek with
different time controls, then it's up to you. Issue as many seeks as
you want; only the last three will remain visible anyway.
