On the subject of ads, one of the things that always astonishes me is the way that with the non-freeview channels, you actually have to pay a subscription to be able to watch them... and then you STILL get loads of adverts! I do sometimes think there ought to be some kind of good practice guideline where, if a company is charging you for content, it should therefore be ad-free.
Even though I have access to numerous pay-to-view channels (they come with my Internet package) I still rarely watch any tv other than BBC, just because I find adverts so annoying!
Kind of reminds my first trip to the States - which was at a time when we only had three or four channels here. It was a novelty having 90 odd channels to flit at first but it didn't take long to realise that they may have had more channels but there was less choice.
