 The world is going mad. Only legislation is going to guard personal privacy from the excesses of the marketeers as they greedily scramble for yet another pot of our gold.

 Elsewhere I have read that some cable networks have been replacing 'national' ads with more targeted ads for years. If you watch shows about XYZ then you will be offered ads about XYZ, where available.

Is satellite likely to be any different?
