Issues With ad skipping

[Tommy2]

thank you @Hunter2660 for explaining this, it appears that there was a glicth with ITV, I can however now skip trhough ads quickly on iTV as you mentioned but it is annoying that adverts mid show arent removed on Channel 4 when you have Sky ad skipping, as they are on Channel 4 +, dont get me weong I do really like Sky and the ocntent but sometiems there could be less adverts on Sky's content,whcih again is another thing I miss about Sky+ beinga ble to fast forward through adverts without having to pay extra.

Glad you got it sorted. The reason I suggested Now is that with Boost added there are no ads at all on Sky's content. Overall it's cheaper, if you get the right deal, which would leave the option open to add an ITVX and Ch4 sub. Again it's whether you 're comfortable losing Sky's OS and the free Netflix, Disney etc.

One of the reasons I hope that Comcast do end up purchasing the non-studios part of ITV, is that then they would quite easily be able to just upgrade ad-skipping customers to ITV X Premium to completely remove the ads.

@MarkGoldsmith  do you think thats likely to happen ?

Well its been a while since the media first reported that Comcast and ITV were in talks. The last i saw reported was only a few weeks ago, which said both parties were still talking. I guess because any takeover move is only for half the company and ignores ITV Studios, it makes any potential deal a lot more complicated. 

It has been widely reported for some time that ITV were interested in selling the non-studio part of their business.

Doesn't work for me when watching SKY either. No 'skip ads' button. Fast forward doesn't work and voice control takes me to some obscure location. SKY want me to pay for what exactly? Useless!
