TF1 prevents you from playing advertisements with live control, regardless of your operator

If you like watching TF1 programs, bad news: it’s impossible to skip the advertisements when monitoring the live broadcast. After Free, it is the turn of SFR, Orange and Bouygues Telecom to have this restriction imposed. myCanal subscribers are no exception.

For a very long time, users could Skip the commercials by fast forwarding when controlling the live feed. The functionality of internet boxes normally allows you to pause the broadcast then resume with the possibility of moving forward or backward in a program.

TF1 blocks the possibility of playing advertisements

So obviously, users started their program with a delay of several minutes to then skip the advertising pages by accelerating. Which does not please TF1 since we imagine that the advertisers have banged their fists on the table in the face of these spectators who escape their notice.

It is no longer possible to fast forward during commercials while monitoring the live stream. Also good at Free, SFR, Orange, Bouygues Telecom and myCanal subscribers.

The group’s other channels, TMC and TFX, are also affected by this restriction imposed by TF1. If you try to fast forward during a live broadcast, the following message is displayed: “At the request of TF1, this action is blocked during this advertising passage. »

But there is a trick that allows to circumvent the restriction : change channel then return to the one where live control was activated. The manipulation brings back the possibility of moving forward or back but expect the operators to correct this flaw fairly quickly.
