That is certainly very likely. However, the point is (which I presume you agree with) that postcodes have quite enough geographical precision for the task. The predictors probably just look at the first part of the postcode.

I'm pretty sure the DTG one [*] uses the full postcode, not just the postcode sector, which would be much too coarse.
[*]
I'm pretty sure that's waht they do (or perhaps a bit more than the first part). I tried putting just the first part in, and it was rejected (gives the appearance of precision, if no more!)
it gives seems to indicate otherwise.
Actually, I've tried a few postcodes and it certainly does seem to look at the full postcode. It just gets odd results.
However, it seems inordinately sensitive to them. All the postcodes are within an ant's walking distance during the ad break, apart from RG6 7BA, which is a good 5-10 minutes walk away. The actual reception gets all Hannington multiplexes on a crappy old contract aerial with wonky directors that hadn't been used for many years fed by several pieces of old style 3p/m coaxial cable spliced together using 10A mains junction boxes and insulation tape. As a general rule, Hannington used to get slightly better reception than CP on analogue throughout most of Reading.
RG6 7BA: Crystal Palace: 12ABD (91o 60km) Hannington: All (235o 25km)
RG6 7BD: Crystal Palace: ALL (92o 59km) Hannington: Not suggested.
RG6 7BH: Crystal Palace: 12ABD (92o 59km) Hannington: Not suggested.
RG6 7BP: Crystal Palace: 1B (92o 60km) Hannington: 1BD (235o 26km)
