PeterJames Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 When this first rolls out there should be some good opportunities for hardware hackers to get rid of ads and make their own remote inputs - This opportunity will be reduced as TV software is updated and TV software developers up their game. Good links thanks Cubit. I agree that it's better to have relevant ads - but I don't want to just see the same old adverts for the same old thing all the time. There needs to be a degree of entropy to allow you to see something outside your normal viewing habits or else nobody will explore and will just live in a bubble of sameness. Adds are not a bad thing imo, getting the right adds to the right people is a good thing. How would anyone know anything about anything if it isnt advertised? I do get pissed with these constant emails especially when they are related to what I have been looking a on ebay or google search's. I was looking for a blind for the ensuite the other day and now I get daily emails from Hillarys Blinds, looked at healthy fryers on ebay and now getting constant emails from Ebay letting me know about the latest fryers advertised.

datadiffusion Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Was going to say been adfree for years here on 4od, just block adsever at hosts level, 4od player just assumes not reachable and gracefully carries on with the programme... So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Harris Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 I used to use the MVPS host file - Which was handy. Also used Peerblock to acheive the same. No real preference but any site I use more than twice I always ensure ads are blocked unless it is a site I want to support (Like this one).
