Adverts on Music on Demand?!
Just watched a couple of music videos on Music on Demand, and each one had a crunchy nut cornflake advert for a minute before the video started. What's going on there then?

Is music on demand free to use ?
If it is i wonder if this is how they manage to keep it free. ??

Re: Adverts on Music on Demand?!
I've got the same, two ads for me though. Rice crispies followed by Crunchy nut.
Off topic, I see you're from Warrington Sirius. Same here, shame the rugby isn't on sky sports :-(

It's supposed to be free to XL/VIP. I'm on VIP and don't expect to have to sit through an advert every video!

Re: Adverts on Music on Demand?!
I just had a browse through, playlists play without any adverts. It seems to be just when you search.

Re: Adverts on Music on Demand?!
Well that's devalued the service for me. It can't really be called free to XL subscribers if it's funded with adverts.
Wonder if adverts are on payed for videos ?

This is not a fault and has been getting rolled out area by area since November 2009.

On the plus side, I never noticed I even had Music on Demand until I saw this forum topic.

Perhaps they have been pulled as Neil Berketts e-mail inbox maybe getting full due to all the complaints.
