Interesting idea. At least it's more palatable than SBS On Demand with its clunky ad breaks.

I watched only ABC iview for a week. Here’s what I loved and hated.

@timrichards we watch a lot of SBS OnDemand and very little iView. Am using a Pi-hole to remove most ads from OnDemand, making it a much better viewing experience.

@mike_t143 I watch SBS via Apple TV and the ads are painful. Wish they offered an ad-free option.

🙃 “maybe paywalled” is so ironic.
I am much more irritated with the highly repetitive ads for content than those in - hence I record almost everything (except real time news) I watch on both (and fast forward through the ads on the SBS app).

@TasDave It is annoying that iView won't let me click past ABC program promotions (at least not on its Apple TV app).

@timrichards
I don’t use iview a lot as we mostly record what we want to watch so can’t remember. However, I notice that I can skip ads in most steaming aps if I run them on my iPad, connected to my tv via Apple TV box.

@timrichards this reminds me that this AM Netflix sent me an e-mail with the subject, "Price update coming soon", which was erroneously labelled. It should have simply been "Price increase coming soon".
