Last chance for Sky customers to claim TV upgrade that removes ads from hundreds of TV shows at no extra cost

SKY customers have just days to claim ad-free access at no extra cost to their subscription.

The broadcaster routinely gives away special perks and offers via itsSkyVIP scheme for existing customers.

This includes things like free preview cinema tickets, chocolate treats and more.

But the latest addition is aimed at TV lovers, especially if you want to watch shows without ad interruptions.

STV Player is home to thousands of hours of TV shows, including boxsets and movies, but does come with pesky ads.

But punters can do away with those interruptions for a limited time.

Via Sky VIP, you can get ad-free for four months, saving you £16.

And it's available to new and returning STV Player users too.

The offer is available until March 31.

And don't forget to cancel before the four months are up if you don't wish to continue with ad-free once the free period has finished otherwise you'll be charged.

To redeem the offer, you'll need to install the MySky app.

And don't forget to cancel before the four months are up if you don't wish to continue with ad-free once the free period has finished otherwise you'll be charged.

Tap on the VIP tab along the bottom, then look for Offers, Gifts & Discounts.

Scroll to the bottom and you'll find the STV Player giveaway there for the taking.

SKY Q CHANNEL CLOSURES

Two channels sadly left Sky Q boxes in March.

However, most of the content on them can still be watched elsewhere.

Sky History +1 SD and Sky History 2 HD were removed from satellite.

They show a number of popular programmes including UnXplained with William Shatner and docu-drama Washington.

It means viewers will no longer be able to catch anything they missed an hour later on Sky History +1 SD, via channel number 223.

But the main Sky History channel will still continue to broadcast as normal – and you can find content on-demand too.

Sky History 2 HD's loss means viewers will only be able to access the channel in SD (standard definition) from now on.
