Discovery+ Ad Skipping

FaviousM — Mon, 26 Aug 2024 19:07:06 GMT

Anyone else running into issue with Discovery+ not skipping ads? I still have Ad Skipping on my account but I'm getting unskippable ads in Discovery+ both on the puck version of the app and other versions (like the one on my TV).

Not sure how long it's been happening as I've not watched Discovery+ in a while but haven't seen an ad in it before today

Sky Ad Skipping doesn't work with Discovery +

It works for Sky Programming, ITV X, 4 and 5.

Oh really? I hadn't seen an ad on Discovery+ before today so assumed it was ad skipping doing it's work

I wonder why I had no ads before now

If they are using targeted advertising injection then the system may need to wait until you've actually consumed some content before it has enough data to work with.

Did that happen when Discovery+ introduced their updated plans🤔
