Which button are you pressing? There is no skipping button in particular, you just press the right hand side of the circle on the remote to engage fast forwarding. It's quite primitive and can be glitchy but it should then start fast-forwarding the ads on on demand content and on certain apps.

Yeah, sadly that was my experience of ad-skipping too. I gave up after a year and cancelled my Stream subscription completely as it just didn't get any better. I now use an Apple TV 4K box with a NOW TV subscription which removes ads from Sky content rather than making them skippable. I also pay for ITVX Premium and Channel 4+ which also removes ads and makes the viewing experience much more pleasurable.

@ZL1 Did you use the online system to trouble before being directed to the correct phone number?
