Not to be too fussy... but has this annoyed anyone else?
Near the end of a show a window pops up with a countdown which will skip the ending you are currently watching. You are given two options and a countdown:
The option is either the play arrow '>' or the close 'X'.
Does the play mean 'continue playing' or does it mean 'skip to next episode'?
Does the 'X' mean close this episode or close the option ?
You have 30 seconds to decide... or remember what it did the last time it didn't do what you meant 😉
Why not use the fast forward button >> or even skip to end button >| icons?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hey there @NotMyself. Thanks very much for posting, and for your feedback 🙂
Just wanted to confirm that when watching On Demand and those options pop up at the bottom of your screen, selecting '>' skips to the next episode and 'X' will close the option.
Let the Community know if you have any other questions.
