You shouldn't be getting adverts on MOD assets. Any particular ones?

Off work for a bit, but if it's not sorted by wednesday, then i'll find out whats going on.

We have been told the ads are just for commercial CUTV and some TV Choice.

You need to ring up so that it can be dealt with.

I noticed it yesterday as well when one of the kids put Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP - We No Speak Americano on (honest). I only noticed beacuse the ad was full of shots of very trim backsides in skimpy clothes.

Not sure why that made me look up really

I recognise the need to make VOD pay and I am happy for the ads to appear before programmes. However, I would be pretty annoyed if they put an ad before each individual music video. This would spoil the whole experience. It might be better to have one or two ads when you select Music On Demand, but then leave the videos alone. They could also get away with a couple of ads at the beginning of the Playlist selections (or any compilation). Otherwise, it will be pretty unwatchable!

This should be resolved now. Let me know if ant more appear.

I had them on Music on demand last night, quite a few tracks from all over the alphabet. Wouldnt mind if they were different, but Reebok all the sodding time. Actually would mind if they were different, 3 minutes music video after a 30 second advert - er no thanks.

same i got this advert and i hit the tv because of this rebok advert i knew it line by line

Hiroki · 31-10-2010, 01:22

Watched a Jimmy Eat World vid tonight and got the advert - totally devalues the services in my eyes

jtaylor06 · 31-10-2010, 01:24

Had the reebok advert too

Both Lady Gaga's 'Bad Romanace' & 'Poker Face' were showing the Reebok advert at the beginning yesterday (31/10/10)
As I hadn't noticed the ad before I thought the MoD was actually playing the wrong videos as I canceled them after just a few seconds in.

Still happening.

Now led me to finally terminate my TV with Vigin and move over to Sky.
Rang Virgin before Xmas to cancel due to lack of 3D, no Atlantic etc and felt that Sky were pulling ahead in TV. Gave them my 30 days notice today

Was told more content on way so said id give it the first few months of 2011 (gave it almost 4) but sadly still hardly any free 3D content (sky has own channel), loss of channels but price increases, + Atlantic and the 1 thing, the major reason, why i stuck with Virgin was its on Demand stuff esp the music.

Now as a Xl customer, i have to sit through adverts, movie previews before more or less every video its stopped me watching the music videos as if im in a music mood, it ruins it watching the same trailer 4-5 times in a row.

Im in advertising, and the way they have done adverts on demand is all wrong. Why not give the music + adverts free to lower packages but with XL paying customers have adverts removed.

Due to thier greed they have now lost about £800 a year from me from my Sub.
