Re: Ad skipping

Difference with Prime is you can pay to have ads removed - I think it's £2.99.

I pay Sky over £20 and get ads, so I paid an exter £5, still get ads but they don't skip on sky channels they fast forward. Contracts up soon so I'm ditching sky, don't really watch much any more anyway.

Re: Ad skipping total scam

Hi, Most TVs can record if you have a Freeview aerial, so I have added a hard drive to my TV and recorded all ITV, CH4 & CH5 programs to skip through all the adverts. 😀

Re: Ad skipping

I find it really frustrating that you still have to fast forward through the ads when you are paying extra. I can understand for non Sky shows you've added, but it used to be that Sky on demand shows we're removed of ads.

Re: Ad skipping

@mrandyc UHD versions of sky programmes usually have zero ads. Do you have the ultra add on ?

Re: Ad skipping

No UHD. I object to them selling you UHD TV and then expecting you to pay extra for the privilege of watching it.

Re: Ad skipping

One little work around I found is to use sky go. Not all will be able to doe this.

 

If I watch an episode on sky go there are breaks but no ads. What I mean is you get the program logo then it continues without any ads. However you need to play this on a smartphone or tablet and then connect to your tv. I watched all of the House of Dragons series worked a treat. I've not tried any other chanels.
