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.
It also tells you how to opt out by amending your preferences .
It is the intention of Freeview Play to implement Hbbtv Targeted advertising
See section 10 www.freeview.co.uk
So it is all happening !
