Telenet injecting ads into your dvb stream

Well, seems I’m on a (blog, har har) roll, "this just in" … via blade on irc:

View this first: Telenet IDTV broadcast

Then this: TV Vlaanderen DVB broadcast at the exact same time

Do we have to consider this to be normal practice?

Edit: it could be perfectly normal if someone messed up the timecodes to overwrite ads (normal practice, and TN probably pays for it) – thanks David 😉

Warning: minimal rant ahead…

WHY do some weblogs not put the full article in their RSS feed. I can understand for some large sites that they want the reader on their own site because of (sigh) ads placed on-site, but certainly for some (semi-)personal weblogs, this really doesn’t make any sense. Perhaps some people don’t know they’re doing it (I don’t have my own RSS feed in my reader..) but I’m usually not very inclined to click on the actual link in my rss reader (btw, tiny tiny rss rocks). Some of the sites doing this: standaard.be, explosm.net, geenstijl.nl, engrishfunny.com … meh.

Woah there, has it really been a month since my last post? On popular request, here we are again 😉

Happy new year for starters… just installed blogspam ‘s wordpress plugin, impressed with the new WordPress in-dashboard plugin installer… nice!
