Ad Skipping - how ?

How does Ad skipping work for Live TV ?

Surely - it will overtake what's being transmitted ?

And when this happens - what are you watching ?

Ad Skipping (a Sky Glass/Stream feature) isn't available for live TV. You can't fast foward into the future 🙂

@Wibbly-Woo Your post has been moved from the Sky Q board as Sky Q does not support ad skipping.

Ad skipping isn't available on Live TV as Sky have yet to master time travel.

It doesn't: bad things would happen to the fabric of time and space ; )

In theory it's not entirely impossible for everything but genuinely live content, but realistically the numbered EPG channels are still dependent on schedules which have 60 minutes of content or advertising in every hour.
