No ads on UHD on-demand content

I pay for ad-skipping and UHD. Sky on-demand HD content has ads but UHD content doesn't - is this a new feature? There is no reference to UHD on-demand content being ad-free on the Sky website.

ROI based customer.

Thanks

Mary

That's good, saves having to press the skip add button @mary323232

@Dazzasky it's great but hopefully it's not a glitch 😂. If UHD content is meant to be ad-free I feel like Sky would advertise that.

PS the new ad-skip button is only available in the UK.

I don't know if all UHD content is add free but I think a lot of it, is.

I'd imagine a significant factor might be if advertising content isn't itself available in UHD.

@TimmyBGood @Dazzasky

Do you know if most UHD content has been ad-free since Stream launched? The next question then is do you actually need the ad-skip pack or just the UHD pack to avoid ads on UHD content? I'd imagine you need both but not sure...

I've not seen any ads when veiwing any UHD on demand content; irrespective of whether I've had the ad skipping add-on (I only add the ad skipping if there is a free offer).
