Cable Forum - VOD Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat

If you have a package that includes Netflix and you opt to pay the extra £5 per month for Netflix premium, can you still use the Netflix app on your smart TV or do you have to watch through the V6 box?

I'm going to give it a couple of weeks as not paying for it anyway for first month, i do like how discovery+ is included and it appears to be Discovery+ top tier as you get Eurosport too.
However the puck was a nightmare to set up took a few hard resets to link to my SKY account, no ability to scroll through channels either you have to keep going back to the guide.

Edit to this a update now means you just use the navigation buttons to change channels.

I’ve not had any problems with ITVX at all. Is it your connection or signal causing these problems?

Likewise and I've used it on a variety of devices.

No connection problems, far too much time wasted on adverts, also after a short break , programme went back to start. Life's to short to bother with this type of streamer :erm:

I'm sure if you paid for it, the adverts would go. The other issue is worrying though.

The premium version has no ads and also it has original dramas that are not available on the free version or on the ITV channels. It also contains BRITBOX content for no additional fee.

The adverts are incredibly annoying on ITVX. Its made it very difficult to fast forward through them deliberately of course. Another advantage of recording programmes.

I know what you mean. That's why I get the premium version. I never watch adverts these days.

If, like me, you are on the full-fat TV package (or whatever it's called this month), you are able to fast-forward through the ITVX ads.

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 03:02.
