That's just my point. Personally, assuming I see a programme advertised I want to see, I can look it up on the guide. In fact that is how I usually do things. Anything I record regularly enough, I set a season pass on.

For me I just set a once only record from the green button promo to see if I like the show. If I do I then i'll set a series link, if not I don't bother.
I usually just use the guide myself to set recordings but the green button promos have highlighted quite a few shows that wouldn't have otherwise struck me as something of interest.
It proves the endless promo's do sometimes work!

No it's not just Sky's channels, I have seen it on a variety of pay channels in fact the networks implement it too including BBC who seem to use it as much as Sky.
I don't know if smaller budget FTA channels like CBS do though.
