Why does STV Player have ads? 

Our service is kept free thanks to the ads that you watch during shows, and it's because of these ads that we can invest in even more great programming for you.

We try to ensure the advertising does not affect your viewing enjoyment, either by being too long or too intrusive. If you have any comments to make regarding the advertising, please reach out to our enquiries team. 

If you want to watch shows without the adverts, a subscription to STV Player is the way to go. With STV Player, you can watch most shows  on demand without the adverts, and download them to watch offline on iOS devices. You can find out more here.
