As long as there's a reasonable way for others to provide opt-in TV show extensions as well (otherwise it's not a neutral conduit again), sure.

  Alright, but then isn't that exactly what happened here?

    No, because it was emphatically not opt-in, nor was there an open conduit for others to provide alternatives.

      Installation of the addon was not opt-in. Receiving any form of promotional content was opt-in via about:config. There is an open conduit; anybody else could offer an addon. So I agree that it was not neutral, because there was more of a barrier to other advertisers than to Mr. Roboto. The right thing would be to have hosted the addon on addons.mozilla.org, same as for anyone else. But it's not a dramatically uneven playing field, given that an open conduit does exist and the reception of any actual advertising was opt-in. (I'm not saying it was ok; it wasn't. But it's not as black and white as you are saying.)
