No. Try playing some video content on C4, if you're running any kind of adblock, it refuses to play. There was a bit of an 'arms race' back when it was first introduced between C4 and developers on the internet. C4 won, adblockers simply won't work on their site, video ads are unskippable and every 5 mins or so.

Yes, they have made a user-hostile service, that everyone I know avoids in favour of getting the content via another (ad-free) route. Good one.

Ah, ok, thanks. I'll have a look later from a computer that has a working flash install, this one does not...

Just to clarify: Every five minutes? How big are these ad spots, just curious?

I wonder if they're referring to video portions? I'm fairly sure both of them have attempted to block adblocking users from VOD for ages.
