Skip adverts 

All TV distributors in Switzerland have been required to show adverts on Replay TV since 2022. Therefore, if you want to fast-forward on certain TV channels, you will be shown short Replay adverts. Once these have finished playing, the commercial break is over and you can continue watching.

With the Replay Comfort option, you can use Replay completely ad-free. You can also skip ads with a click or even automatically. Add the option in My Swisscom («Active options» > «Adjust options» > «Skip advertisment»).
