Re: Skip ads button

thank you @MarkGoldsmith Can you give us examples for Sky on demand and where I can find these on stream please. I have tried my 5, channel 4, itv x apps and can't see the button but I presume that is what you referring to.

@Super+Anthony the button only appears on on demand content from sky branded channels such as sky Atlantic, sky witness etc

Re: Skip ads button

If ADs are a headache it is worth signing up to ITVX and C4+ if you watch content from these broadcasters. Often deals to be had. ITVX was £2 per month not sure if that offer still stands.

Re: Skip ads button

I have tested out on The Day of the Jackal. I can see on this one no adverts but there is no button? @SKY1992bf

@Super+Anthony Just a thought, have you received the latest update (QS034.022.00P)?  It is still rolling out so maybe you haven't received it yet.

Re: Skip ads button

@Dazzasky I have watched something on Sky Atlantic on HDR/UHD and no adverts but there was no button. Not very clear once again by Sky

As I said before, if you try the HD version then you will see the skip add button @Super+Anthony

Re: Skip ads button

Tried that. Can't find it. Another issue for Sky to accept responsibility for

Hi @Super+Anthony you mention there were no adverts so you would not see the skip ads button as it only appears when there are Ads to skip.

 

I use the button all the time and it is really great.  My only suggestion to Sky would be for the button to stay visible a little longer before disapearing (but it does appear again if you go to FF through the ads).

I've just tried the HD version of The Day Of The Jackal and the skip adds button is there from the second it starts streaming, so not really sure what's going on with your puck.  @Super+Anthony

I just did the very same, episode 1 (HD). Right from the start the 'skip ads' button is there on the right-hand side. 
First time I've seen it, most of the Sky's own content we watch is either UHD/HDR or live so the 'skip ads' isn't available.
