Hi @MikeF271948

See: https://www.sky.com/help/articles/ad-skipping-sky-glass

And

Only you can decide if you want to be able to skip adverts on on-demand programming and if you view sports, movies or progsmming in UHD, but that's basically what these packs offer.

UHD/Atmos - If you have a large screen 4K TV and a sound system capable of decoding Dolby Atmos surround sound then you will benefit from the improved resolution and more immersive soundtracks (on selected content).

Ad Skipping - If you want to be able to fast forward through ads when watching catch up content on the ITVX, Channel 4 and My5 apps, and the ability to skip ads on Sky branded content then the ad skipping pack allows you to do this. Without it you will have to suffer ads on catch-up content from these sources.
