If you pay to go add free does it include everything you watch ?

No, if you use Netflix basic for example you'll not be able to skip ads.

On other apps, such as ITVX you can only FF through the ads, they are still there unless you pay for the premium version.

On some of Sky's own content a true "skip ads" button may appear.

It's a lottery.

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, C4, C5 and STV Player 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 does not fast forward ads in:

Live TV
Other TV apps (apart from those listed above), like Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Paramount+ YouTube or Spotify.

Ad Skipping has a 31-day rolling contract.

@Bradoefc

Skipping advertising on live broadcasts would do bad things to the fabric of space-time...
