Most supposed "no adverts" networks usually still have promo adverts 
for their shows and themselves, and sometimes show sponsors. The term 
"no adverts" really means "no commercial adverts selling third-party 
commerical products".

The BBC could always go 'whole hog'and turn into something like the 
shopping channel and be nothing but adverts / "infomercials".   ;-)
