    ….And is there any way of getting rid of it? It’s really annoying me now, some of the videos are good but I don’t want it playing constantly!!

    premium subscription?
    Use one of the browser privacy setups that doesn’t track your history and as such will only generate random ads rather than ones that are linked to your browsing history?

    I was talking about browning anonymously…

    I understand, it’s not something I would shout about either…

    Do Not track
    Not really it’s about not sending information to the 3rd parties that use it to track and sell you stuff, it’s got nothing to do with hiding for legal reasons.

    mikewsmith, I was only kidding based on your “browning” rather than “browsing”…

    fair enough didn’t spot the typo, but check the rules; promoting the plug in you are is not allowed. The site needs revenue to run – it’s either ads or subscriptions.

    Not sure what’s going on here, I’m sure I typed ad block, guess it’s been deemed as advertising or something.

    Apologies, i didn’t mean to offend anyone 😕

    Edit: Ok it keeps changing what i type to ‘freeload’. Again i really didn’t mean to do anything wrong. I guess i don’t really know much about these things. feel free to delete the thread.

    😳

    Please go read the rules regarding adblocking.

    Site Terms & Conditions

    The EpicTV player is not really advertising as it’s not trying to sell you anything other than the opportunity to watch some bike videos.

    Premier users can turn off ads and leave the EpicTV player running
    Or they can turn ads off AND the EpicTV player.
    Most premier users have it running while ads are turned off.

    It’s bloody annoying that’s what it is. If it’s not selling anything then just put a link to it or something. I’ve quite liked Epic vids in the past but that there ——> means I won’t click on another one.

    Apologies for the freeloading, I hadn’t thought of it like that. Hadn’t thought about it at all really.

    I did have a payed for premier account and do buy the mag from time to time, but just don’t really want a subscription to it. I understand the site needs revenue, just didn’t want videos constantly playing in the back ground. Most of the actual ads don’t bother me, but the constant videos were distracting!!

    Apologies again. Consider my wrist slapped!

    Don’t see the issue, at least it’s targeted content

    Have you considered a Premier Lite sub? £1.49/month and you get all the premier benefits of the site, including ad controls but without the mag content. It’s even cheaper if you choose the annual rate – less than 1/2p per day.
