I just noticed an ad at the top (the goooooogle ad banner) and it said:

"Dish satellite TV
Sky TV packages from £7.50 a month etc etc etc
_www.sky.com"

Is it me or is that one hell of a dirty sky trick??? :-rofl2

Clever marketing. Its an introductory offer - 7 and a half beer tokens is only for 3 months or something like that.

£7 per package but after 3 months the minimum you are allowed is 2 packages £14 like general entertainment (sly one) & lifestyle diso home and lesuire
its better value than it use to be minimum was £20 with loads of music stuff I never watched...

I spotted it but dismissed it as just a badly worded ad. C'mon everyone in the uk knows that satellite tv = Sky (apart from a few hundred enlightened nutcases of course...)

No, I don't think anything has been changed, I'm sure that there are several automatically generated adverts which respond to a whole list of satellite related key words, dish being one of the most common ones. :)

Ebay do something similar as CH pointed out a couple of months back, when he typed in the name of a desease and the search came up that you could get it at ebay. :-lmao
