Cabbie21 I agree with all the above, but to be honest, I don’t watch them, I pick up a puzzle or go and make a cup of tea.
I never used to see any adverts as I recorded everything and skipped them. But now I watch Freevee and ITVX I can't do that, and there's usually no time to read or make tea as they can sometimes be just one advert. So I do see adverts now.
I'm the same as you Cabbie21, I used to only watch streamed programmes on Sky and now find ITVX really irritating with the same ads repeated all the time. You can pay to get the adverts removed but, like you, I just find something else to do.
I do also watch series on BBC iplayer which don't have ads though.
I like babysitting for my daughter as she has Netflix, Prime and some other pay channels though there seems to be less and less that I actually want to watch now on any of them.
