Hopper 3 - what button on remote does one press to skip ads in YouTube?

[Almighty1]

Greetings everyone:

I was wondering what button does one press on the remote when using the Youtube app on the Hopper 3 to skip the ads? Thanks!

So you think YouTube will allow you to skip ads?

That's funny.

When the ad starts and then says “you can skip the ad in 5,4,3,2,1, when it gets to skip ad, press select.

Thanks Bobby, never figured out the button since it's labeled as fast forward on the screen so obviously pressing the skip button doesn't work.

You’re welcome. And to all you naysayers...

I've been paying for TY Red, now YT Premium for so long, I was at a friend's house last week and didn't realize how bad the ads are now. It used be an ad in the beginning, but now they have ads inserted throughout the videos???? wow....

Someone here (Bobby?) tipped me off to press Select then Down. Works quite nicely.

But this is on my Sony UHDTV remote. Android TV. I think it works with Roku too. I don’t watch YouTube on my HWSes anymore, since the experience is so much better with other devices.

HipKat, I noticed that too. Alphabet Inc, who owns Youtube and Google needs to make as much money as they can get.

navychop, you are correct since it's more for convenience since my LG OLED remote usually doesn't have batteries in it as I hardly use it so I need to use the mobile app to switch inputs back to the H3 after the Google Chromecast Pro automatically makes the tv change inputs which seems to have better audio and video than the H3 for YouTube.

Same with my Firestick and the LG App on my TV, although the Firestick mostly has MUCH better Audio and Video than the Hopper does.

Yeah, I have the Firestick 4K as well but haven't really used it yet as what I have noticed is the Firestick only does true video size and I can't even stretch it so the actual video is way smaller than the 65" glass it's on.
