Yup, unfortunately this will most definitely be the case. From what I've
read our dear friend Mr Murdock is more interested in using the info from
Sky and Sky+ boxes and our personal viewing habits to ensure we see adverts
that match our wants/needs/desires (Whether we want to tell them or not!).
If TV companies can achieve the holy grail of household targeted
advertising, companies will pay BIG money for advertising space.
