We just mute the sound when adverts are on.

But that way a 44 minute programme will take up about an hour of your time.

No thanks. I'd rather record and skip the ads.

You may not have a choice sometime in the future.

Hi, so I have given notice to terminate my Sky Q package after 10 years. It’s set to cancel on 4th September.

My current package is:

·         Sky Signature

·         Sky Sports

·         Sky Cinema

·         HD/UHD

·         Multiscreen

Price set to increase to £107.50! Hence the cancellation. Ideally, I would like to keep the same package and my Netflix deal has now ended so would like to add standard or premium to my deal as I have read about peoples successes adding these to their packages. Do you think I could get a better deal than the £59 they are offering with Netflix (with ads)? I was going to give them an opportunity to keep me as customer in my last week of cancellation, but I have read letting it cancel for the day is the best way to get a better deal. Any help would be appreciated.

Got a random offer letter through Sky today, offering signature, sports and movies for £49.50, and if I want HD/UHD and multiscreen it's an extra combined £15. Total £64.50, more expensive that what the last retention call offered! I'm in week 2 of cancellation.

There's AD skip which gives you similar thing to a PVR..
Or you could get an extra 44 minutes of your life back by not watching the program at all!

My wife is extremely sensitive to ads like the current RSPCA, Dogs Trust and even worse the DONKEY one - that shows donkeys being mistreated - she yells at me "get it off..." whenever it is shown - often repeatedly several times an hour...

God knows how she will survive when she has no choice with animal cruelty charity ads !

My wife is nearly the same - but with all the funeral plan ads currently bombarding our screens !

Why do we also have ads about bodily functions, we never used to?
