Re: Virgin Media plans ‘imminent’ launch of targeted advertising
Back on topic, this only seems to affect TV on demand for Tivo users. Seems to be a good reason to keep V+ box!

Re: Virgin Media plans ‘imminent’ launch of targeted advertising
Well, as I ignore all the ads at the moment, I expect I will just ignore the targeted ads....

My thoughts exactly, Hugh. A big fuss about nothing. (As was Phorm, as it turned-out but that's way OT)

Yes indeed the ads have no impact in our household either.

Re: Virgin Media plans ‘imminent’ launch of targeted advertising
Where did I say that? Go on. Show me.
I am getting seriously annoyed with people like you who seem to want to put words in my mouth (so to speak). Please STOP IT
Nowhere in that post did I say I "liked" Phorm. I don't like ads either. But if I have to suffer them then at least make them relevant to me.

Re: Virgin Media plans ‘imminent’ launch of targeted advertising
Carl, you've made it clear that you (like me) record most of what you view. Skipping the advert breaks is a bonus. Timeshift is a wonderful thing

Not that I know of but.... I expect it will be 'coming soon' in VM speak.

Does this imminent plan worry you that much or have you got some input that will help us ?
The longer it takes in my eyes the better, but you will have a different reason for it to be delayed

Can I not ask a simple question or make an enquiry without you and the other VM cronies questioning my post?
Keep up the harrasment! Just makes me want to post more.
