MSE Sky deal - adverts?
Has anyone taken up the Sky deal and found out if you can opt out of adverts at an additional cost? Or is that not worth it?

I've got Sky Ultimate. Yes, you can opt out of adverts but it isn't perfect. For sky channels the adverts come on but a button appears saying SKIP ADVERTS and it skips them.
Some apps, like ITVx, you don't get a button and have to manualy skip the adverts yourself (you can skip a minute at time etc or just fast forward like a normal PVR). It isn't ideal to be honest, and obviously you can't skip the adverts if you are watching live TV.
When I signed up in December 2025 and logged into the sky website and looked at "my products" I got an option to have ad-skipping and UHD free for four months. From reading online forums, that still seems to be available. After the trial finishes it is £6 a month for the ad skipping.
