“Sorry, Fast Forward is not available for this programme”

82bit — Fri, 28 Feb 2025 16:31:16 GMT

Message appears at the top of the screen: “Sorry, Fast Forward is not available for this programme”... while it's fast forwarding. Usually occurs during live sports that have been 'watch from start'ed.

I mean come on lads, sort it out. Sky are charging a premium price for this product!

Hi @82bit

Do you have ad skipping?

Yes of course - hence why I said "while it is fast forwarding". It's just yet another glitch in Sky's brilliant streaming service. /sarcasm.

This is so annoying - and only happens on the programmes delivered directly by Sky. Everyone else's apps are fine.

Seeing it is a warning - don't try and seek, and don't pause! If you do either, it will immediately reset back to the last ad break.

And this week they wrote and said the price is going up.

This has been happened to me as well on the cricket. Still in my 31 days as just signed up. It has improved since last time I had Stream as that was terrible. Still dont like the playlists at least the price is good but it needs to be to be honest.

I got notified of the price increase 2 hours after activation. At least I was thanked for my loyalty.

Still getting this message at the top of my screen, it's usually Sports channels, putting on hold and then trying to fast forward results in program skipping forward on its own. Sky need to sort this out as we are paying a lot !!
