No, web sites are specifically excluded later.


Errr OK, so re-reading that page suggests that misleading claims on a
companie's web sites are not covered by the ASA, whereas if they
advertise on another site it is covered. I think you were right.

Sorry - just got to your post after posting my reply to your earlier one

So it seems like Evesham are being a bit premature in advertising in
this way as it is not *guaranteed* that the World Cup will be broadcast
in HDTV in the UK. Is this something the Advertising Standard
Authority http://www.asa.org.uk/asa/ may be interested in as their
advertising may be misleading? If it were not broadcast in HDTV I
guess consumers who had bought a TV based on their advertsting may have
cause for complain and compensation?

Trade puff only. You would have to prove that you thought that it was a
term of the contract.
