Why am I paying for ad free? What does it do?

If you're paying Sky for ad skipping, it allows you to fast forward through ad breaks. Without it you would have to sit through each ad break.

With the Ad Skipping TV pack, you'll be able to skip adverts using the 'Skip Ads' button when using:

On Demand

And fast forward through adverts when using:

Live Pause - up to the live broadcast only
Restart / 'Watch from start'
Playlist
On Demand

You can also fast forward adverts in the ITVX, C5, STV Player and C4 TV apps.

The Ad Skipping pack doesn't mean that you won't see any adverts. It just lets you skip or fast forward through the ads using the relevant remote control buttons and on screen menu options for what you're watching. It doesn't fast forward ads in:

Live TV; or
Other TV apps, like Netflix, YouTube or Spotify.

A recent new feature in the latest Sky Stream release is the ad skip button;

When adverts start you'll see a Skip Ads button in the bottom right corner of the screen.

Select this button to bypass the adverts.

You pay broadcasters to skip ads to compensate them for lost revenue for not watching adverts🤔
