Hi why are there adverts during programe's that are few years old .I thought watching catchup was ad free only at start of programe's. Friends of mine have Virgin and Sky and they don't have ad's during the programe's. Is there a way of stopping the ad's or get the remote to speed up .Or is it easier to get rid of youview . thank's

There are less or no ads on Sky and Virgin's on-demand services because their customers pay a premium to use Sky+, TiVo, etc. YouView users don't have to pay more for extras and gimmicks (excluding BT or TalkTalk subs) so things like ITV Player and 4OD are subsidised by advertising.

I don't see how getting rid of YV would be "easier" for you. By all means, if putting up with some commercials on catch-up isn't worth it, switch to Sky or Virgin and watch your monthly subscription bills rocket up...
