Just when you thought it was safe to watch programmes on Sky Plus to avoid the adverts...
ITV plots future in which there is no escape from ads - Times Online
This hasn't been thought through really has it? I mean would you want to watch a particularly delicate episode of Vets In Practice, watching Trude help a cow birth her calf, while "Buy Fray Bentos!" whizzes across the sky? It is bad enough with most Sports on Television nowadays, which is basically an hour or two of ladies and gents plastered in adverts running around, or cars plastered in adverts driving around. Most prime time shows are now "sponsored by" someone whose intro's we are subjected to as the show starts, ends and in every advert break. When is enough going to be enough?
What is the odds now that another company will come out with another piece of software that will remove the adverts from the television for us, for a "small cost" of course!
