False Advertising
I was having a look at the videos posted by txmole on http://www.babevideo.co.uk, advertising if you have Playboy TV you can get Television X for half price. Nothing wrong with this however, the videos show completely uncut hardcore porn, which we know can only be viewed online.
This is completely wrong and for who doesn't know a lot about the rules of adult broadcasting on TV, they could sign up to a long contract (which are very hard to get out of) thinking they will see uncut porn.

Yes I know this, but the video is advertising the TV deal.

RE: False Advertising
TVX are perfectly entitled to claim that they show "uncut hardcore xxx" on Sky, Cable and Freeview as there isn't an accepted legal definition as to what "uncut hardcore xxx" is in UK terminology.
It is only when they start claiming that they are better and show more than PlayBoy TV that they start getting into trouble.

For anyone who does sign up to TVX and is unhappy with the service, you have the legal right of the "30 day cooling-off period". If you cancel within this time period you do not have to be tied in to the 12 month contract.
