How do Sky Localise Ads

Hi all,

Anybody know how Sky localise ads?

What I mean is that while watching, say, Dave, during the ad break, I will see ads for Irish companies and such like, but I am using the same transponder as someone viewing in London or elsewhere.

I am not asking about their upcoming "AdSmart" which will use the Box's HD to store ads and then play them during the break, based on customers package and details submitted during sign up, but rather how are the local ads "injected" at the moment.

Cheers.......

Very easy. They have separate Irish and UK feeds for those channels.

A UK card will select the UK version, and an Irish version will select the Irish version.

Note the various Ireland versions of many channels.

Yes, of course.

And there was me thinking we were on the same transpoder.

Thanks, Time.

Sky haven't localised their HD channels here yet - it's the same feed as the UK, complete with UK adverts.

They don't have the bandwidth available yet.
