Too many to even begin to list....but top of the pile (or bottom of the barrel) are Omaze, Verisure Alarms and Cinch. :mad:

Any Sky Glass advert.
It’s funny you should say that.We’ve got Sky Glass which needless to say isn’t so straightforward and easy to use as they make out.The one that really annoys me is the stupid ( perhaps not so stupid in view of what he’s probably paid to do it), kid who thinks the old fart is a magician or somesuch because he’s got a long white beard.
Funny how the kid can just say something into the remote like ‘Chelsea , Liverpool ‘ and miraculously it appears on the screen.When we do it , it says ‘sorry I don’t understand that’ even though it’s printed on the screen exactly what’s been said.Not a patch on the Sky Q boxes and more fiddly to use.

But it would probably record Made in Chelsea. I remember in the early days of TiVo a woman who put down two of her interests as 'teaching' (she was a teacher) and 'wine'. The box then randomly recorded a new drama. The woman wondered why until she discovered one of the main characters was a teacher with a drink problem...
Back on topic, it's obvious in the Sky Glass ads that the dog is the brains of the family.

You do realise that it only works if you've got a wand and are wearing a wizard's hat, don't you ?

Or if you’re Harry Potter.

Adverts and Sponsorship on ITV3, Not that it reminds me of me getting old but the fact those in adverts/Sponsor programmes on ITV3 are so bloody young, Seeing them smiling and laughing as they get their mobile scooter or walk in bath etc is carp, Most are in their 40's and obviously have no need for them.

P.s Anyone thinking of changing to Sky Glass , my advice is don’t. ( Not unless you have that awful kid sitting at the end of your sofa with his magic wand and hat.)
No , on further reflection just don’t bother.
