How to skip ads

Fast forward through the ads so you never have to suffer through a cliffhanger again!

Our fast forward feature and ad rules vary based on the channel, and whether what you’re watching is Saved, live, or on demand.

Saved content

You can fast forward through any of your recorded Saved content (these episodes and movies will be marked with the

tag). Learn how to Save content (Link opens in a new tab)here.

Live content

If you’re watching live content, you can fast forward but the last ad break will be required (unless you’ve already watched it). If you start watching an ad break, you’ll have to wait until it’s over to jump to live.

On demand content

If you’re watching on demand content (that you haven’t (Link opens in a new tab)Saved), you can fast forward but the last ad break will be required (unless you’ve already watched it).

Once you watch an ad break, you can skip that particular ad break if you rewind, or rewatch.
