People won't watch OD either if they cannot escape the constant stream of commercials.
You can't with USA services there are 5 ad breaks to a hour 3 to 30 minutes and that is on demand programmes.
Adblock+ will get around most but there are still some such as hulu, cbs and now cw who will not let you view until you disable your adblocker, 4od and itv are the same.
Hulu however will play the adverts regardless of you adblocker being enabled or not.
