Just noticed this today (never seen it before in 8 months of viewing) - after selecting an episode of something in the watchlist, a 15 second pre-episode NOW TV advert/trailer for some other TV show played first then it began playing the selected episode.
I quite liked having no adverts and trailers on NOW TV Entertainment!
Is this the future then for NOW TV Entertainment?

@Anonymous User NOW TV only control what you see inside the NOW TV app. The other providers control the content in their own app, so it's Channel 5 who decide how many adverts on shown in their Demand5 app.

I've had NowTV for over 2 years and only just noticed this in the past 5 months or so. It's very annoying because you get ad's every time you wish to watch a new movie. Why is it that I can't op't out of Ad's? I pay for the service so why they give me ad's for something I'm already paying for is stupid. Every time I wish to start a new movie I'm made to sit through 30 seconds of adverts EVERY TIME!

Echoing the point made by several others already, I've noticed these unskippable pre-show adverts today for the first time. Not very good in my opinion, especially given it's a paid-for on-demand service.

I remember quite some time ago when watching catch-up shows on Now TV that they brought in these pre-show trailers and they seemed to be there for a period of time, but then for quite some months I never had any more??? That was until a couple of days ago when they seemed to start up again??
Like many others I'd prefer not to have them, but I guess they could be worse.
I was just wondering why they came in and then seemed to stop for several months.... and then they start up again. Maybe if we put up with them again for a while they might stop again??

I am probably in a minority of one but I've no issue with these adverts/trailers. So long as they only appear pre-show (and not during the show) I can very easily put up with them.

Good for you, you must be very tolerant and thank you for your vote.
However many people here would raise an eyebrow about why anybody would feel the need for “putting up with” unskipable ads on a paid service.
However you might realise that this thread is made up mostly of people who do not like, and actively resent these unwelcome, unannounced and unilaterally imposed intrusions to what we were sold as an advertising-free environment.
