Clarification on fast-forwarding through adverts.

James363 — Wed, 08 Jan 2025 18:06:02 GMT

If I get Sky and I pause live TV for, say, 30 minutes, can I then:

a) instantly return to the LIVE tv broadcast (so miss the 30mins that was paused)?

b) fast-forward through that 30 minutes which would include fast-forwarding through adverts?

Thanks for any help.

Hi @James363

Yes to all.

If you use live pause for any period (up to one hour) you can immediately return to live TV by pressing the dismiss button twice, No need to fast forward which you can if you do desire.

To Skip in recordings playback best to use Q Voice control.

To skip adverts say Skip X minuets. Adverts vary with each channel. For Exampkevtor ITV they are approx 4 minuets 15 seconds
