To be fair, I've not actually played much with the VoD ones other than flick through the libraries and see if a couple of streams play. There's every chance they do break playback to throw adverts at you, I honestly don't know.
The live-tv streaming apps I've seen didn't seem to break for adverts, but I could be wrong. I don't have a box at home to play with or test so it's all passive observation.
Even so, does advertising revenue actually work out profitable after running costs?

from my experience usually the videos play fine after you get around the plethora of ads that are covering the play button etc.

After speaking to one of my friends with a box, he insists there aren't adverts...
Seriously though, this is a somewhat large CDN - how the heck is it financed?
