Adverts mid movie on Sky Go

Hi all, 

 

I pay for Sky Q, with a 2TB box and two mini boxes in the two bedrooms.  My package is basically all the premiums with sports and signature and cinema and HD and all that jazz. I travel a lot for work and my Sky Go is used quite a lot. I've noticed recently that when watching a movie on the lap top, I am getting adverts *during* a movie for the first time. 

 

Honestly, for the amount I pay a month, I already resent the number of adverts Sky put into things like HBO content, which runs without ads in America. I feel like I pay the premium to avoid them as much as possible. 

 

I spoke to Sky and they said that ads during the movie is something most have but as I'm a diamond customer and as I've been with them for 20 years, I shouldn't have them. They said there would be an ad skipping feature and in time they'll remove mid-content ads all together for me when they update my profile. 

 

I find the whole thing pretty confusing. One guy (I swear, I've spoken to 14 people today) said I was probably part of a beta testing on tiered subscriptions. 

 

How is Sky Go working for everyone else? And am I right in saying that Sky Go and Sky Go Extra are different only in how many devices you can use?

That sounds like a load of nonsense to me as your VIP level as no say in whether adverts do or do not appear.

Not sure what updating a profile has to do with anything so again see my post just above as that doesn't sound right to me.

Does that mean that everyone has adverts mid movie on Sky Go now? This is something they've changed?

No idea as I don't use it but it wouldn't surprise me as adverts are getting everywhere now.

@MJ1701 If they use Sky Go then the answer is probably yes.
