I get the feeling this might be related to AdSmart, a system Sky implemented to use targeted advertising (in this case, regional ads) on their channels and they're now just implementing it onto Freeview with their FTA channels Pick and Challenge. Odd they never chose to use it on Sky Arts and Sky News, but that's my assumption anyway.
If Rick is watching on Freeview then that message is generated by the TV, or some app on the TV at least.
Ad-smart is totally transparent and AFAIK is only available on the Sky platform (although the website says it works on Virgin too). You don't "opt" into it or even know its there, it juts works.
