YouView launch ads banned
YouView launch ads banned.

Quote:
Virgin Media has won a victory against fledgling rival YouView, getting its launch TV and press campaign banned after the advertising watchdog ruled that claims it is "unique" and the "easiest" service were untrue.
After a protracted development period, YouView launched last summer. It was backed with a £10m ad campaign that debuted in September, featuring stars including Gary Barlow and Benedict Cumberbatch. The service is a joint venture between the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, Arqiva, BT and TalkTalk to bring internet-connected TV to Freeview households.
Virgin Media lodged a complaint with the Advertising Standards Authority about claims made in the campaign, which ran on TV and in the Radio Times

Not really Maggy as these other companies are quick enough to try to get Virgin's adverts banned.

Not really.
Why should YouView be allowed to make false statements, people soon complain if VM do the same.

Banning the launch adverts almost a year after launch shows the ASA up just a tad.

Re: YouView launch ads banned
A lot of the pay TV operators are getting jittery about Youview , many pay tv subscribers are getting sick of paying extortionate monthly amounts with annual increases that far exceed inflation , up until now the subscription free PVR offerings left a lot to be desired however with Youview and Freesat Freetime this is now beginning to change.

Re: YouView launch ads banned
Yes indeed as the battle for our buck will increasingly intensify in the coming months as people look for better value for their money instead of increasingly getting ripped off by ever increasing price rises with little extra to show for it.

But Virgin just blatantly lie in their adverts so deserve it. Never believe anything in Virgin advertising. The ASA banning so many of their ads backs this up.
