Is what I am experiencing how Ad Skipping is meant to work ?
New to Sky, I thought I'd try Game of Thrones on Sky Atlantic. The Ad Skipping experince is inconsistent.
If I stream on the tv, the ads are there but I am able to fast forward through them.
If I download to my iPad using Sky Go and watch the download, there are no ads in the download, just a second or two of the title screen where ads would have been
But if I stream to my iPad using Sky Go, the ads are there and cannot be fast-forwarded.
If this is how it is meant to work, it is inconvenient as that means anything I want to watch on the iPad (in the gym) has to be downloaded and watched wihin 48 hours, which may not be possible
Is this how it works ?
Or have I done something wrong or am I missing a fix ?
Thank you again !

That's how it works as Sky Go is independent to Sky Stream but you are given access as part of your package

Thank you both
The linked article describes fast forwarding on the tv, which is fine.
Is there any way to fast forward on the iPad when streaming ? Touching the screen during an ad proves unhelpful.
Again thanks

Ad skipping only applies to Sky Stream and Sky Glass, not Sky Go.
