Why are there no adverts on Channel 4?
No, you can’t skip adverts. All 4’s content is free to watch because we are an advertiser-funded broadcaster. As a government-owned, not for profit organisation, the revenue we make from advertising doesn’t go to shareholders, it goes back into making more programmes.
Why has All 4 stopped working?
One reason why the All 4 app might not be working is down to Channel 4 outages. If Channel 4 are having signal issues of their own then live streaming shows can be problematic and unfortunately unfixable from your end.
Is it free to watch All 4?
All 4 is a free-to-view video on demand service but we do require users register their details to watch. Registration is free and gives access to all of Channel 4’s latest shows and unlocks access to an extensive archive of classic programmes and downloads to watch offline.
Why does Channel 4 think I’m not in the UK?
Rights agreements mean that our All 4 service is only available in the UK. Even if you are a citizen of the UK you cannot access the service from abroad. Some of our programmes are available in the Republic of Ireland, subject to rights.
Is Channel 4 part of the BBC?
The channel was established to provide a fourth television service in the United Kingdom; at the time the only other channels were the licence-funded BBC 1 and BBC 2, and a single commercial broadcasting network ITV.
